I’ve been looking at getting a j4125 based mini computer because I need that gigabit ethernet.
I have bought a Beelink Mini S Mini PC W11 Pro which works great with linux (currently running Fedora) to run as my media pc
Just using and old dell sff PC and making docker containers on it. Thankfully I haven’t had a pi fail for some time so I don’t need to replace any of them 🤞
Dell Optiplex. I have a 9010 and 7020. Power consumption is higher but performance to price ratio is way better than a pi. Sata ports and options to upgrade are pretty desirable too - unless it’s the cpu. I’m on 3rd and 4th gen which is fine for what i’m doing, but that’s about as high as they go on that chipset/motherboard.
I’m definitely looking for something compact and low powered but interesting to hear the performance price ratio is so much better
ROCKPro64, made by the wonderful people at Pine64.
That looks hardcore!
