I'm a huge fan of octoprint on raspberry pi. I'm not a huge fan of raspberry pi lately. I've heard of le potato and orange pi. Some searching shows that people have done it on both of those.

Does anyone have any experience running it on a small board computer other than raspi?

There aren't any alternatives that follow the RPi's original mission, they're all for-profit. And I'm not sure you'll find a more affordable board than the $15 Pi Zero 2.

@Ajen @GrayBackgroundMusic can confirm Pi Zero 2 runs Octopi nicely. Tried running it on old pc thin clients but not sure I recommend due to the faff/webcam issues. Am also dabbling with android phones with some success...
