Thin clients are just regular x86 boxes, they’re miles ahead of every SBC. The only downsides for consumers are slightly bulkier sizes, slightly higher power draw and of course the gpio/Hat ecosystem is not available, but I would argue that for most people that’s not really relevant.
Yeah. As someone running a NAS/Jellyfin server of a SBC/USB SSD I would love to pick up an x86 sffpc too properly put everything inside but idle power and quiet aren’t easily beat.
Software support olinwouldnt really agree since x86 gives a lot more options than ARM
My RPi 3b pulls 5W, while my thin clients draw about 6-7W on idle, one of them doesn’t even have a fan, the other one could easily be modded to lose the fan.
It’s all about the idle power and software support.
🌈 The software support! 🌈
Anything that runs on an SBC has a Pi image. Download, write, go. And Pi OS (Debian) for anything else. Or Ubuntu LTS.
