what does work now? back in day i bought bbb for getting it's fbsd support better and because i wanted my first sbc. still works decade later but fbsd support went to sorry state now. now i have somehow 13 nanopi neo cores (no headers soldered, at that time it was about the only sbc in stock too) but want something that fbsd could support for longer period. like opiz3 is 64bit and everything. maybe it's inevitable to lose support but the problem is, embedded devices don't get replaced. as seen on insecure android phones that work until they die. i stepped up from hobby level now and realize it's hard since fbsd is still my favorite after 21 years but since mips/arm/riscv/etc is so fragmented, freebsd support for such hardware is like it's marching in from front door and straight out via back door. and i even get the problem. i read the thread of deprecating 32bit entirely. arm too. little of user interest, little of dev interest. upstream issues. and then you get users moaning how they put bbb's into some high security env machines and can't get them replaced anymore. so can't decide here. yes, i can make own lts freebsd dist like many others but. there's also option to switch to [no]bsd or linux. so i'm out of ideas here. i mean, what to select for a hw that's beyond the level of home cpe/stb you can easily install one year and throw away next
