From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I think it was a mistake to remove hardware video encoding. Even the hw encoder for H264 1080p 30fps was better than no encoder. Apparently they think sw encoding can replace it..yeah.. the cpu is more powerful, but not that much more. I think intels N100 processors will be more competitive for applications involving video/webcam
Oh cool, been waiting for this announcement. Nice.
I wonder if the will make a Pi 500 the all in one form factor is so convenient when traveling
For all of us bitter people who couldn't get an RPi 3 let alone 4 for less than a fortune during the recent dark times...
We’d like to thank you: we’re going to ringfence all of the Raspberry Pi 5s we sell until at least the end of the year for single-unit sales to individuals, so you get the first bite of the cherry.
So I will probably preorder one because why not.

Finally, a pi good for 4K video! (Apparently Raspberry Pi 4 could as well, but I am assuming this is an improvement. I still have a couple of Raspberry Pi 3's.)

OrangePi 5 better
Better support? Better drivers? Larger community? More open? Longer support period? More ethical product? More HDMI outputs? Cheaper? More third party projects available?
You have to be more specific. Better is a very broad term
I told myself id give up all hope if there was no m.2 slot . Guess I'm going on a diet and never eating Pi again!
