@Natanox I can honestly say I've never owned or used a Raspberry Pi. From the outset, the use of a closed Broadcom SoC switched me off and this latest Sony AI inclusion does nothing to make me ever consider it.

I've successfully used ODROID HC1 and NanoPi NEO3 devices which, in their own way, are superior to the Raspberry Pi. As you said, there are many useful alternatives out there.
