I'm satisfied with my Raspberry Pi 3, but competition and options are always nice to have.

There was something crowd funded called a Pine64. It wasn't straightforward in the booting department, because it comes up 32 bit and needs to 'change gear' into 64 bit, but a Debian was built for it anyhow. It runs off an sdcard, iirc. A bit short on the I/O but there is IDC headers, and 2xUSB. My (Mac geek) son sprung for it in the crowdfunding stage, decided against going at it when he got it, and threw it at me. Some day . . .

^ if i may.
it is also possible to install the os to the internal emmc, which i'm running from now. i tried 3 OS's - Q4OS (windows-like done right!), pine64's own pinebook ubuntu mate edition, and armbian's pinebook edition (based on ubuntu 16.04). i'm running the latter now and am totally happy with it. see one of my blog posts. a little ot, pine64 is trying to offer "userfriendliness" via their installer (electron, say no more), but really one can just dd the images to an sdcard, and install from that. i think it should also be possible to install a linux made for the pine64 board - that would vastly increase the number of distros on offer. |
