Armbian works on the Orange Pi5, but why do we not have a real Raspberry Pi zero w2 competitor from Orange with Armbian?

Last Updated on April 6, 2023 by pg@petergamma.org

Our Rasperry Pi zero 2 w is very slow and difficult to install.

• video playback is not good in the above video
• Armbian oftne has not great versions of Linux

• has NicoD’s SBCs taken over the Armbian demo from leepspvideo?
• is the Orange Pi5 not high quality, it falls apart in the demo video
• who then buys an Orange Pi5 for 90 USD on Aliexpress, where it is not worth it to send it back because shipping is too high?
• And who buys an Orange Pi5 for 200 USD in Switzerland from a seller we don’t know, if he can by a LattePanda V1 from digitec Switzerland for the same price instead?

For whom is the Orange Pi5 under the described circumstances attractive?
