    There’s a huge amount variety between the alternative sbc providers, but I’m general:

    • some are simply designed not to have various bits of hardware like the camera 22 pin connector.
    • some fail to conform to the pis pin out or footprint, so hats won’t be compatible
    • more commonly, documentation and support is so poor that extensive dev/Linux experience is required to get existing hardware to work

    All of this makes it difficult to utilize alternatives without conducting considerable research into many different ones.
