I was thinking of getting an ODROID when looking for an upgrade from my Raspberry Pi 3B (this was around the time Raspberry Pi 4 came out).

Decided against it. The ecosystem and support around Raspberry Pi is simply too powerful to ignore. Look the stats for distribution of choice, DietPi:

First non Pi/X86/VM devices is at #11 with 2% installed base.

Yeah, the popularity of rpi is both a blessing and a curse. There's tons of support, but also tons of demand.

Still worth it though.

If you're looking for an upgrade to x86, the GMKtec mini PCs are very affordable.
