I just found their proprietary hardware and being ARM too limiting. I wanted to set up full disk encryption to set up nextcloud on, and found that on the pi this is an incredibly complex process. While on an x86 PC it's just a checkbox on install.

And then you can only use distros which have a raspberry pi specific build. Generic ARM ones won't work.

Yeah the complaints are fair. I stick to RPi OS for maximum compatibility. People have been crying for a Google Drive client for Linux for over a decade, but still have to set it up in rclone.

I build out my server in Docker and I’ve been surprised that every image I’ve ever wanted to download has an ARM image.
