Driver support, like in the original post. I’m not trying to imply that it’s an impossible situation by any means, but there are better options, like designing / supporting hardware that already has open driver support and with OSes that are designed for them and to be open instead of what we have with Android and hardware designed for it.

I think this should be obvious based on the post that this is a reply to, but the short answer is that it’s based on Android, which Google very much still controls even though it’s “open source.”

Not to mention way too expensive as well…

I keep trying to tell people that Graphene is a dead end. There are other options we should be pursuing.

I love reusing old tech like this. People toss / sell at a loss a lot of stuff that has quite a bit of use left in it.

You can buy x86 mini PCs for less now with only a minor hit to power consumption (they use slightly more power). I used to love Pis for home labbing, but I have switched to mini PCs for it.
