A few years back I finally got tired of the quirks with ArchlinuxARM (some things only worked with the forked kernel, some only worked with mainline) and replaced all my persistent RPi usage with refurbished Lenovo mini PCs from Amazon. Even with Amazon’s markup it wasn’t that much more than a beefy Pi4 plus case and adapters.

This let me standardize on amd64 and simplified a bunch of my deploy code.
