I’ve seen RPi5 is only quad-core while OPi5 is octa-core. RPi5 has better connectivity with Wifi and Bluetooth. Are there any other details I’ve missed?

    Software support is generally crap on the Orange Pi’s. Make sure it supports Armbian and get the LTS version, if such one exists.

      Yeah if you just want a little computer, sure, pick up the orange pi. But if you want any of the gpio stuff get a raspberry pi because none of the knockoffs seem to work with modern kernel.

        My Libre, El Potato, works well enough. I use it to run octoprint on Debian Bullseye and the GPIO to turn on/off the printer and with some temperature sensors and to control the fan in the external electronics enclosure I built. But to be fair, it was a lot more trouble to set up than if I could have gotten my hands on a raspberry pi at the time.
