Sounds pretty cool.

I've been keeping an eye on these for a while now. I eventually intend on getting a 20" touch screen and connecting an SBC or nuc to the back to make a cool little media playing, web and pdf viewing machine for use inside of my shop. So basically.. a "shop computer". I was eyeing the Orange Pi 5's but I recall an amazon comment noting that distro support was limited. With that in mind, I am leaning more towards NUC territory.

    Yes. I don't imagine we will see Linux Mint on these soon (though I could be wrong).

    I have put command line Armbian on previous Orange Pi devices happily enough.

    With the AI bait in the ad text, I'm guessing the first adopters of this will be folks running a custom purpose home headless local LLM?

    I'm still tempted to get one for my own shop PC and just run Armbian desktop. I bet Octoprint would run great on this.
