I just wanted to update some older posts since, I previously advised against Orange PI’s, but everything has changed now.

Armbian has saved the day big time on this one. My Orange PI has gone from unusable to really great. What happened is that Armbian has added support for the Orange PI H3 based machines which are basically all the newer models. I cannot say enough good things about Armbian and the crew behind it.

There are still small quirks but nothing that is showstopper for me and things are getting tweaked and fixed almost daily lately.

Armbians support for Orange PI so much of a game changer that I have 3 more machines from Orange PI on the way.

Other things worth updating from previous posts is that it just keeps snowing !!
