Alcun Atirutan BBS

Alright, so I've used a lot of SBCs in the last 10 years.

Mostly I've used raspbery pi because I hate waiting and I could get them locally.

But I've used rockpros and pine64s and CHIPs and OrangPi and BananaPi and all kinds of SBCs.

But I have this bad brain thing where I can't remember lots of details about most of them. I don't remember which ones are easy to get, I don't remember which ones are a pain in the ass to work with.

If I *see* it in person, I know what it's good for, which bits it can't do, if it will be performant, but it's just in my head somewhere and not attached to the name.

So, what I'm trying to figure out:

Which SBC should we start with if we're going to be an SBC distributor.

And this is a *different* question than "What SBC would I use for my project" because it has all those same questions plus:

- how easy are they to get?
- how easy is the manufacturer to work with?
- can we get wholesale rates?
- Will anyone care?
- How many binary blobs am I looking at?
- What's the failure rate?

@requiem I don't understand what you're trying to convey with this link.

@ajroach42 "Rate limited". Guess their server wasn't prepared for how much attention they were getting. Can't see the content of the link since it's either been deleted or isn't showing up due to the rate limiting. @requiem

@requiem That's what got @ajroach42 talking about all this ;-)

@kazriko @requiem yeah....
