When I'm using less-popular SBCs (ie not Pis) then I will usually look for whatever distros are supporting it in the most first-class way, again, unless I'm experimenting. Then I look for what has the software I need already packaged (again, check the arch because a binary package repo doesn't necessarily include your device, especially if it is 3rd party). I've had to compile things on ARM SBCs and it is SLOOOOOW. I have the same philosophy with containers. If I'm just running a service, and not tweaking things, I'll just pick the least-fuss base for my container whatever that is. --=20 Rich
