It was nice knowing Raspberry Pi while they lasted. Going to suck losing something that has changed the homegrown embedded system hobby forever.

So, what are the alternatives?

I got a 'LePotato' a few years back when Pi had stock issues, and it worked quite well as a Pi 4 clone.

Yep, using one to run clipper for my 3d printer with armbian as the OS. It's been rock solid for me. There obviously some adaptation and discovery when trying to use the io as it's similar-but-not the same as the raspberry pi io and manipulating it is not the same. But it works, it was available, it was competitively cheap, and it's been stable

Plus I get to say I'm running my 3d printer on a potato
