I didn’t realize they had different chips either (yay for not reading close enough).
For many years I was running everything on that System76 Meerkat (basically an old Intel NUC). IT was getting really old, so I thought I’d try that bigger OrangePi to see if I could host everything on the ARM chip (answer is yes). A new Meerkat is $700+, and the OrangePi 5 is like $250. So far it’s a win for sure.
I’ve been curious about those Pi Zero machines. I should get one just as a toy.
