> I am inclined to buy and promote cheap clones

Are you also inclined to support and develop kernel and OS level software for them? Because the lack of good support is why they remain woefully noncompetitive despite the lower price.



https://libre.computer/ sells SBCs that run mainline linux and boot with UEFI, which is better than Pis could ever say.


And once they make one that isn't slower than a Pi 3 I might actually buy it. Their entire lineup is obsolete, they're selling 2GB models like it's 2018 while Orange and Rock Pi are moving onto 16 and 32GB.

The only Raspberry Pi models I regret buying are the sub-4GB versions, since you're always one step away from needing swap.
