My experience with the OrangePi 4 LTS has been poor, and I'm unwilling to purchase more of their hardware. Mine is now running Armbian because I didn't care for the instability, or for the Chinese repos.

They seem uninterested in trying to get their hardware supported by submitting their patches for inclusion in the Linux kernel, and popular distros. Instead, you have to trust their repos (based in PRC).

That's always the problem with these non-Pi SBCs. They never have good software support.

>>apple4+il1
Even bigger brands such as Nvidia seem to expect us to recycle SBCs every couple years.

The Jetson Nano launched with Ubuntu 18.04, today, this is still the only officially supported distro for it. I have no reason to think this would be different with the Orin and Thor series, or even with the DGX Spark with its customized Ubuntu/"DGX OS".

I still don't understand why they couldn't support them properly. There are so many situations in which they could be better than alternatives, only to be hamstring by the poorest OS support.
