Optiplex 990 ex-PoS or CoW, like $200 refurb, and you don't need gpu blob to boot it. Amazing. likes this. -
(mint@ryona.agency)'s status on Friday, 25-Oct-2024 05:47:52 JST @ins0mniak @cvnt @pwm @transgrammaractivist @Owl @dj @NonPlayableClown I'm still pimping that old Thinkcentre with an AMD APU. Recently upgraded it with two NVMes in striped zfs, and during that had to circumcise the x1 slot with a Makita drill so that I could fit the secondary NIC in there as I had to relocate it from the x16 slot now used by the drives. Broke one of the ground pins, but everything works still. † top dog :pedomustdie: likes this. -

Prob mostly my fault for not paying attention but still -

I've been using void on the pi's and armbian on my C4 boards.
one that does have good support at least from what i've seen so far is diet pi.
However you have very few options if systemd is a dealbreaker.
Slack has an image for it but I havent used it in months for the reasons you just mentioned.† top dog :pedomustdie: likes this. -

Debian is basically all you can get that works ootb and most of the distributions don't packge the configuration utils for the pis anyway so good luck configuring the eeprom. One would think that the most prevalent sbc would have great OS support, but no. -
