Personally I've been trying to transition all of my hardware to low powered ARM devices in an effort to both reduce my environmental impact and to try and do more with less. As a professional software developer, I have recently realized how wasteful we tend to be. Prior to this I decommissioned my Intel based desktop "server" with Ubuntu in favor of four ODroid XU4Qs running Armbian. Expanding this project to encompass my personal laptop is the primary reason that I'm interested in the PBP. I plan on attempting to replace my Purism Librem 15 running Arch with the PBP. The PBP is by far the most promising Linux compatible ARM laptop to come along yet and I figure with enough time and effort I can make it work.
Are your ODROIDs connected in any way or are they discrete machines? I have a homecloud which is awesome. I thought about getting a few more and stacking them into a ceph cluster to replace my x86 server. To do that, I'll have to figure out an ARM based ATSC tuner setup.
