Why bother with these obscure boards with spotty software support when you can get a better deal all around with an x86 mini PC with a N150 CPU?

Exactly! Just grab a mini PC such an Optiplex, it will be so much better.

I bought a used thinkcentre tiny off of eBay. It's got great GPU decoding/encoding support, great driver support for all the peripherals, and can boot from an m2 NVME or a SATA drive, it has a very normal bootloader. It can even run Windows. The mostly-aluminum enclosure is very nice and well-engineered, it's easy to pop open, it has a power button. It was under $100 and makes me question why any hobbyist bothers with SBCs like these.
