Hi there,
Well I couldn’t agree more, Not to mention the Vapor ware that is the RPi 5 LOL
what a scam, putting lipstick on a PIG is still a PIG. I don’t waste my time to use that for AI.
You need more HATs , More RAM, MORE power supply. “Cha_ching” Then add things like shortages and an OS that’s older than Snot. NO Thanks!
Even the Jetson has issues, proof is right here. The OS , changes too often if you want to take advantage of the newer and some older LLM’s then it breaks everything. NONE of it is truly OPEN source that’s a marketing Gimmick if you ask me.
The Linux is all over the place. forget consistent tools. Unless you spend REAL money on the Highest end Device. your experience will be anything BUT OUTstanding. It’s the bleeding edge and they market it like its a mature tech, It’s not, none of the tools are or the reference designs, everyone has a tweak and that just Jacks it up from being standard. Sure if you want to run a frigate or some non consequential DEMO yea it works, right out of the box. No further.'try to add a VM or dual coral. Crap more adapters and stuff that just gets in the way.
I’m not wasting my money on that. AI doesn’t have to fit in my pocket to be useful.
Rant Off…
I appreciate they try to make stuff user friendly at seeed but Shoe horning into some Linux in just because is not attractive to me. The main issue with Ubuntu is that neither of its browsers supported video or audio websites that used DRM so look elsewhere for that in the AI relm.
WHat is a “Fully working Jetson” does that really exists. SOmeone idea of a cheap Desktop alternative LOL.
Agree Nvidia needs to crack the wip and get back on track. IMO.
Then add more fans and heatsinks… LOL

Seeeds team does a yeoman’s job at supporting this moving target , but just look even they have to test it or go figure it out , kinda on there own and try and assimilate it to the NASTY masses who bought the stuff. YOI and YIKES!
