Given the low cost of (optionally 2nd hand) motherboards these days, it is a more rational implementation of a CNC host. It could even save Gene from his alligator-infested Rpi swamp, I figure. Apropos video performance, I finally have my Udoo X86, and its video performance is in another galaxy compared to the old J7F2WE1G5S-OC-LF I picked from the list of LinuxCNC compatible hosts a few years ago. The video is good - I just need to get some audio out. With either a hdmi cable or hdmi to vga adaptor plus stereo audio cable, there's dead silence out of the shiny new monitor's speakers, unmuted & at 50% volume setting in the on-screen menu. (Shoulda married - might have a 15 yo to fix it, then.)
