I ordered an Orange Pi 5 in their presale this week.

The hardware looks good, but I hope it doesn’t end up like every other SBC I’ve ordered where it is forgotten about software wise on release day, and distros can’t pick up the slack.

I have a leftover 4Gb Rpi I don't know what to do with given the Xwindow forwarding function doesn't work and using the VNC client feels Microsoft I rather not toy with.
