From the post:

>If you buy a Raspberry Pi, the order of operations is simple. Go to the website, download the imager, pick your board, and you’re good. But what if you buy a NotRaspberryPi™? That usually involves digging through forums, GitHub repos, and the occasional shady Google Drive link. And for what? A cobbled-together Linux image that technically boots… if you’re lucky.

Well, I bought several Le Potatos. Yes, it wasn't as easy as setting up a Raspberry Pi, true. But it works very well. They have an Ubuntu image you download and make an SD card from, but that's it. I chose the server version since I don't use the desktop.

Yeah, I have several non-pi SBC's and they had various levels of effort required though RPi was still always the easiest.

No doubt. Raspberry Pi is the standard.
