    I just thought about buying buying a Raspberry 4. I remember that when it was released there have beem some problems with usb4 and with thermal throttling. Is that all solved now?

    One thing that would solidify RPIs for anyone is using AMD-based architecture chips rather than ARM.

    Obviously there's a power issue (afaik)and several other issues, but ARM support is hard for many projects. I know you can build docker containers for all architectures via qemu/buildx, but for stuff like Longhorn by Rancher for example or even Envoy (I believe) dosn't support ARM for some weird reasons I haven't gone enough into.
