I’ve seen RPi5 is only quad-core while OPi5 is octa-core. RPi5 has better connectivity with Wifi and Bluetooth. Are there any other details I’ve missed?

    Outside of the (theoretical) technical specs of the OPi5 being better, I’ve heard/read mixed things about OPis. Some say they’re a good alternative, some say they’re cheap Chinese-made crap. I’ve had no experience myself, so take it with a grain of salt.

    I’m interested to see more data on the RPi5 when it’s out, as to figure out if it’s worth getting over trying an OPi5 for a home media system with Jellyfin.

      I bought an Orange Pi 5 earlier this year to replace an old RPi 4. I runs various docker containers plus some custom tools I wrote myself in .NET and rust. Yes, .NET on a random ARM SBC. No issues.

      Honestly the only downside was the case availability, at the time there was only a choice of two cases and neither looked as good as the Flirc case for the RPi 4.
