“Once you have thermal issues mitigated properly, I feel like I've finally got an armv8 microcomputer that I am happy with. Always wanted to experiment with software on a different arch, this lets me even compile software at a reasonable speed.

I wouldn't run one in a closed case as I think it would get too hot.”
