  There are lots of SBCs out there but the difference really comes down to documentation and how upstreamable everything is. The Pi might not be perfect but it’s a much more reliable design to build something with than many of the other options.

  But what are the other options that aren’t from some random Chinese company? I tried a Beaglebone but it was so slow at a similar price point.

    I’ve had good luck with a Rock64. Not sure about performance vs a pi, but it’s running great as a magic mirror.

    I’ve heard good things about Orange Pi too, though can’t say I have one.
