Posting this from my rPi which I use as a desktop!

The same can be said for any thinkpad and Mini PC.

>8 hours of battery life
I get better battery life from an old Nexus 10 screen and 12000 mAh power bank.

It might be okay for you if you just watch anime and browse the internet, it is not okay for what I use my computer for.

yeah lemme use it for my opencl + opencv projects real quick

Even redditors know by now: np.reddit.com/r/Android/comments/7npv6a/20_raspberry_pi_alternative_runs_android_and/ds3z7m7/
Time to move on. There's options.

I use it with Retropi. Pretty nice.

I bought an Odroid C2 before and that was one of my biggest misinvestments. Wouldn't have thought how important solid software/driver support is.

Is there 2D accel yet? I tried it but the speed of the desktop was just unbearable. Things took ages to open and the screen tearing was unreal. You also had to jump through hella hoops to get hardware video decoding working in mpv.

The interface is kind of shit. It's hard to find boards with specific characteristics if you don't already know their names.

Spoonfeed me, what's the best cheapish desktop SBC? I know you have a favorite.

Do RPI still have shitty "experimental" gpu driver ?
I tried to use my RPI as a desktop but it crashed randomly
Can it run normie stuff such as netflix ?

>It's hard to find boards with specific characteristics if you don't already know their names.
What characteristics are you looking for?
>Spoonfeed me, what's the best cheapish desktop SBC?
Again depends on your needs. If it's not armv8 and supported by archlinuxarm, don't even bother. So the list is pretty short.
archlinuxarm.org/platforms/armv8

you're full of shit, cunt.

Rock64

A no brainer: archlinuxarm.org/platforms/armv8/rockchip/rock64
It will run laps around the rpi in practice, because of the RAM and the I/O (SD/MMC that doesn't suck + USB3 + actual ethernet that isn't behind USB). The SoC is simply an order of magnitude better.
The Pi is a potato.

I wanted to like it.
- Mali driver support completely fucking shit
- Not possible to have hardware accelerated video AND being able to use a browser
- Not possible to dual boot from EMMC and SD, despite the user hacks
- No wifi/bluetooth
- Emulation is worse then RSPI, except on Android. And fuck Android for a SBC. Shit usability.

I don't need a small server use because I have a real server. There is nothing I can do with it now.

Makes the pi look like a bad joke. (protip: IS ACTUALLY IS A BAD JOKE)

Not bad. At all.

cozy purchase

FF might give you slightly better mem usage, also ublock or any ad blocker has a decent memory footprint - look into dns based blocking for more speed

Turned mine into a all purpose wifi thing. Throw two ALFA usb wifi cards on it and maybe a large battery pack if you want to make it mobile.
Use it mostly to as a repeater around the house, but it does well for all kinds of interesting bullshit.

>hackerman

Sometimes you just gotta be the meme.

Does it have 2D/3D acceleration? Is it possible to run a real DE on it? A lot of SBC have shitty GPUs with no decent drivers that only work with libmali shit or opengl es at best.

maybe i could do that but i would still need a real computer for some things. could use that as some kind of thin client and do all the heavy things on my home server.

>using chrome on a pi
you absolute dunce

This works pretty well for gentoo on the rpi

Who is this

See

Raspberry Pi is somewhat of a modern C64, in the sense that it is a platform that has a predictable hardware setup and lots of accessories.

RPi has much better support than anything else except the Beagleboard. Everything else is one-off chink trash with half assed software support at best.

That was the pre-Mandela effect globe.

See:

Because you need to run binary blobs to boot. Rock64 is better alternative

no thanks, id get whatever $318 gets you on the used laptop market over this

based

RK3328 uses mali 4xx, so that would be the lima drivers for open source
RK3399 uses T-864, so you want panfrost
Rockchips also posts the proprietary drivers on github if you love to gargle cum
which you probably do

When can we expect a new model? The newest one seems ok for something I have in mind but if a new one comes out in a year id rather wait

In case it drops $5 in resale value, you mean?
Plenty of no-mark alternatives ;) just read this thread

>Quad-core ARM at 1.2GHz for a workstation machine.
RPi's aren't useful for anything but library search terminals and 12yo science projects. KYS OP

Overpriced trash.

How the fuck do I buy a Ryzen Embedded mobo? I see many offerings and some sites even lists the prices but there's no "buy" button anywhere. That's the ultimate mini pc solution, and Linux support is also great as far as I know.

That's the plateau of Leng, are you dense?
