lol, I was thinking about buying one of those: http://www.orangepi.org/html/hardWare/computerAndMicrocontrollers/details/Orange-Pi-5-plus-32GB.html But the debian support seems to lack

The M2 seems to be positioned a bit odd on the board versus odroid ones, other than that, looks fine. For chipset, RK3588 is very well supported in ARM firmware 2
You may need to bake your own image. Basically take an ubuntu ARM, shift it 512MB to the right, then inject uboot and the firmware and fuck a bit with fdisk, to describe it correctly.
I can build an image building script for the world but I cannot test it rn. Would have to get rid of one of the boards to replace it with this, let me be pensive for a week on that.

  1. I literally had to use archive dot org for that link! What's happening to net neutrality? Or is it net neuterality now, haha?
  2. In fact I was a bit grumpy that they focused on this versus RK3328 - which is perfect if you don't need fast storage for things that you can just run from 4GB memory.

That seems a bit exhausting, if it had tow-boot support things would be easier: https://tow-boot.org/devices/index.html

It's fun tho! uboot isn't that bad, just a bit slow on the startup.

fun for ubermensch like you. Ich habe ein kleines Gehirn.

LOL! Not an ubermensch, just curious! Oh and I don't give up when someone says it cannot be done and I want it.

Indeed when someone says something cannot be done that's called motivation. But I am lazy for those things lately.

This is the raison d'etre for the open source community, so that we can focus on the right stuff. Unfortunately, outside of Bitcoin, convincing people to share deterministic build processes is super hard, and this is why security is so labor intensive.
If I would ever solicit a job, it would be deterministic-build-whisperer. Will change lives so that we can all focus on real problems.

I admire your will to do things and technical skills to perform that.
