Dear FreedomBox Community, I did some research to decide for a hardware platform to use as my future FreedomBox. From what I understand NanoPC-T4[0] would be a good choice but I would like to hear your opinion before I order it.
The good: very powerful dual WiFi 16 GB eMMC should suffice for many applications M.2 PCIe for SSD is you need more storage USB 3.0 (e.g. for backup on external HDD) comes with a case and power supply RK3399 SoC has pretty good mainline support [1] officially supports Ubuntu[2] so Debian should run (I assume) Caveats: high price power consumption unclear heat production unclear no SATA (but M.2) not open hardware I added the device to the Hardware list[3]. Not sure about the point "Debian arch" so please correct this - I basically guessed. Did I miss something? What do the more knowledgeable think about this device?
