    So, since they’re going to become profit mongering dbags and ruin their product and brand, what are the best alternatives? I’ve never used them but I’ve been aware of them for several years now.

    I have some projects that I’m working on that seemed like a Raspberry Pi would work well with but I’m not interested if they’re going public.

    TIA!

      Raxda. Profit-oriented from the get-go, but has excellent support. You might still need to fiddle with the official Mali drivers though (tougher than the Linux NVidia drivers).

      Otherwise, if you just need a quick solution for let’s say, a NAS built around USB storage, you can just use anything as long as it has proper support for Armbian (Chinese manufacturer’s own Linux distros sometimes have spyware and stuff that make one of the cores run 100% all the time, also no Mali drivers).
