So, I'm new to SBCs but not quite so new to Linux (started out with RedHat 4.2 after becoming disillusioned with OS/2 Warp). What I'm seeing with the Pine64 is the potential for creating a decent multi-media computer that can run on minimal power. This intrigues me. I could build a multi-media box to run off my solar array when I go camping (Ok...."glamping"....I'll own that 
) or, use it as a way to stream games from my "big computer" to my basement TV.
.
On the Pine 64, I can pretty much do that now with Remix OS (although a Steam Controller driver would be great) but I kinda miss the flexibility and familiarity of Linux. (and my steam controller works with Linux thanks to GitHub).
So, a question for those more experienced with SBCs; are there any you could recommend for my next project? Arm or Intel Atom as long as power requirements are low.
