CanaKit is now taking preorders as well

I finally got my first one to test.
On first look, the IdPi bookworm distribution needs updating to run on it.

I'm somewhat mystified by the Raspberry Pi OS official distribution.
It runs kernel8 by default. That's the one used for a Pi 4, Pi 3, etc 64 bit kernel.
I download kernel 2712 which is supposedly specifically for the Pi 5's new hardware features and reboot.
It crashes on boot with a page alignment fault on libresolv.
I don't get why it's an option to create an unbootable system.

BryanC:
Is all of the Pi 5 kernel support upstreamed in 6.7 yet? I remember some phoronix articles on it but can't remember if everything is there yet.

I think the gap has officially closed between the Intel E-cores and "high-end" ARM. Rather just pay $100 for an N100 fanless x86 box than deal with Pi 5 cooling, ARM, hardware decoding limitations, slow OS rollouts, etc. And this is coming from someone that owns like 5 ARM boards.

Awesome Donkey:
A potential alternative to Raspberry Pi OS would likely be Armbian, which comes in both Debian Bookworm and Ubuntu Jammy variants: https://www.armbian.com/rpi5b/

Yeah, gotta agree. I've been using a Orange Pi 5B (which as far as I know is still a little ahead of a Raspberry Pi 5 in terms of overall performance) and I've been considering getting a little fanless N200 box with 32GB of RAM and replacing the Orange Pi 5B that runs MC31 with that. I could also consolidate and retire my two other Raspberry Pis (one runs AdGuard Home, the other runs Emby Server) into the N200 too with plenty of resources to spare to run MC31, Emby Server and AdGuard Home all on one device.

Something like this?

Never played with these before. Sort of like cheap NUCS it seems.
