@bananapi does it alt least come with @RaspberryPi / #RapsberryPi-level #documentation #quality and it's #drivers mainline'd in the #Linux #Kernel?

(Yes, I'm still angry for the #BananaPi0M2 at you!)

@LambdaCalculus #sarcasm aside:

The problem with any @Raspberry_Pi "competitior" is that they fail to understand why the #RaspberryPi brand got strong and basically dominates the space:

Banana Pi M2 Zero: Low-Cost, Quad Core SBC

@DavittoKun @landley Granted, @Raspberry_Pi 's goals are different than mine and those goals are valid too.

You can't have #TechLiteracy by the masses if they never get #tech they can tinker and learn with...

#RaspberryPi basically dominate the #ARM & #ARM64-based SBC market because every competitior just solders some silicon on a board and thows it on the wall with neither good #Documentation nor #Support, letting customers to "fuck around and find out" instead, which is exciting for a few but a complete disregard to the value of time of the buyers for everyone who needs to make it go brrr.

There's a reason the #BananaPi0M2 was never scalped, because Software makes OSes and OSes make Hardware!

Whereas the #Pi0 / #Pi0W & #Pi0W2 - whilst being proprietary in nature, are easy to integrate and develop for with free, excellent documentation and a vendor that actually gives a shit!

Thus it would be stupid *NOT* to target their boards woth OS/1337!
