The following video which we mentioned previously shows a great demo of the OP5:
- LibreOffice
- gparted
- pdf viewer
- YouTube video playback
- Balena Etcher
Is shown how it runs on Ubuntu on the OP5. The following very rare user experience in the comments of the video which we aleady mentioned previously says:
@vladyrojas
“Some time ago I tried to use an Orange Pi for a project, and it was a problem: the operating system was very poorly optimized and I tried almost all: Android, Linux, etc., the system hung and was very unstable. Finally I did the project with a Raspberry PI and had no problems.”

- “Hello, now there. They have greatly improved the RK3588 SOC, it is also mounted by other manufacturers, so everyone collaborates in part in the development of the software even though the boards differ in their peripherals.
- Its community is growing and there is support for third-party operating systems such as ARMBIAN, although it remains to be seen if in the near future they maintain support for this board or dedicate themselves to creating new boards without maintaining the older ones as they have done in the past.
- In my opinion, the Raspberries took the lead in sales and community, overtaking other already established ones such as the Beagleboard, but it stopped being a non-profit project dedicated to teaching and “hobbyists” at a reduced price, and is now a commercial brand.
- But Pi’s have fallen behind in hardware for the price they have, we will have to see if the RBPI5 that should be released in 2024 is up to date or not.
- Greetings and thanks for the comment”
