So, there being substantial knowledge here, I have a
question: Why is it a
bad idea to build an ARM-based desktop machine?
From my experience with various ARM-based SBCs:
- Performance claims tend to be exagerated (latest Pi5 is quite good though)
- Very little proprietary software are compiled for ARM
So, as long as you can be sure that the performance of the CPU/GPU suits your
needs, and you rely only on software that are available in the distribution
you use, I can see no reason it would be a bad idea.
But as a matter of fact, all my ARM based devices until now have been
secondary machines and those I really depend on use "Intel" processors (AMD
actually at the time).
This ITX system seems interresting anyway.
