What are good Raspberry Pi alternatives that are in stock?

Question

Can't find any raspberry pi zero w's in stock, or any normal pi's for that matter. Looking for similar or compatible alternatives for a small low power toy project. Any ideas?

I had the same question a couple of months ago and got recommended the Orange Pi line of devices. For my usage it is virtually identical to a similar specd Rasberry Pi. Most of the models can run Armbian[0] which provides some peace of mind regarding long term support. The brand seems to sell mostly on Aliexpress, which is where I got mine from.[0] https://www.armbian.com/download/?device_support=Supported

Odroid at hardkernal, I like the XU4 that at $53 will run full Linux distros and has A15 and A7 CPUs at 2 GHz, 2GB DDR3, Mali T-628 GPU, USB 3.0 and Gb Ethernet.
Hard to believe you get all that for $53, you wouldn't have to go back that many years to be in a place where you would have been happy to pay $2k for something like that.
While there check out their odroid go for 80 bucks, it's a ready to go gaming platform similar to Nintendo switch.
I have no affiliation with Odroid whatsoever, I just like their products.
