I purchased one of these, and I must admit the specs are what led me to do that. However I am quite disappointed in the availablity of support, or for OS’s available. Yes the Radxa wiki shows 2 “official” OS’s available, I found that neither work completly as they should. I am by no means an expert on Linux, or it’s distro’s so and given the negitive undertones toward noobs on the forums it’s very hard to gleen information. So the end result for me and others like me is that you have a brand new board; it doesn’t appear to function as the manufacturer implies; the available software is buggy; so you really don’t know if there are any defects in the hardware you pay for. Don’t get me wrong, I realize the folks working on these OS’s are volunteers. and are given little for their efforts. It does irritate me though that the manufacturers of these boards, and others like them, imply in their sales pitches that the boards run this or that or many operating systems, when hardly one may (almost) work. Couple that to the lack of documentation creates a great deal of frustration. All IMHO of course.
