Popularity is not a measure of quality. Also, the snarky tone is unnecessary.
In 2013 I bought https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CHIP_(computer) for 10E including shipping.
ARM Cortex-A8, WiFi, bluetooth, GPIO, i2c, 4GB NAND drive, 512 MB of RAM
Serious question: given that the hardware is open, why is nobody replicating the same thing at a similar price?
I want to try installing OpenBSD on mine sometime soon.
