• But if we compare for instance Raspberry Pi’s with Ubuntu to LattePanda’s with Ubuntu, than we can see, that Rasbperry Pi with Ubuntu is much superior than LattePandas with Ubuntu:

All features of the motherboard of the LattePanda V1 are supported in Ubuntu 16.04 with patched kernel – but what about newer Ubuntu releases & newer LattePandas?

• The development of Rasbperry Pi lasted much longer than that of the LattePandas.
• Raspberry Pi development started at the University of cambridge, but where started LattePanda?
• Raspberry Pi’s are still much more interesting for us personally than LattePandas.

But still our trust is gone in Pi’s. Since trust is like a mirror. You can repair it but you can still see the crack:
