Hey Karel!

 KK> I think yes. I used to like them more than RaspB

I don't care much for raspi's.  They all lack a decent wireless connection and
usb is too flakey to be counted on.  I am not sure if manufacturers understand
the universal part of USB.

 KK> This Ubuntu LTS was unbeatable that time.

Hm.  Depending on what we're talking about, I believe I was and still can do
better.  However I haven't seen any arm based systems of interest to me which
probably explains why I am using x86_64's.  They have much better expansion
possibilities albiet are more costly than a typical arm64 as well as a much
greater power consumption for the x86_64s.  For me - actually mostly for the
neighbours - it is the wireless connectivity that determined the desirable
hardware to make it work and that definetly costs both for hardware as well as
power consumption.

It is a case of you get what you pay for.

Life is good,
Maurice
