Hey all, I’m looking to build a couple dashboards out around my house. I’ve done this before with rokchip boards and they are… fine, but not great. Is rpi the best option right now? Are there alternatives you really like? I’d like to keep it a single board to easily mount behind things where it doesn’t take up a lot of space, and I won’t lie I like the DIY feeling of it over something like a thin client.

    It has an older i3 quadcore @ 3ghz max with 16gb ram and 1tb nvme, can’t remember the model number.

    I think idle without any VMs or containers running is around 6.5W, so no it’s not much lower.
