Since my Udoo X86 went wobbly, I'm looking for a new youtube machine. (The video breaks up after ten minutes of running, without the temperature triggered fan spinning up. Feels cool too. Maybe it's high ESR supply caps?) If a Pi3+ isn't optimal, is there a smallish mobo with good integrated graphics so I don't have to fork out for that separately? I'd want to run devuan (debian without systemd) on it. That works a treat on the Udoo X86.) Hmmm, I must unearth the Bitscope oscilloscope adaptor and take a look at the supply rail.
