No, I’m going to look at the actual reliability and quality of the boards objectively. I’m questioning your opinion, and asking you about it, and you’re getting offended and insecure by basic questioning and fact checking.
The fact is that Pine64 boards have been better than Pi boards since the Pi3 when the Rock64 had a real gigabit port, unlike the Pi3 (even though they lied and said it did)… and could boot from eMMC, unlike the Pi3. I still can’t believe people actually run an OS on sdcards. And it was faster. The separation grew drastically on the launch of the Rockpro64, which launched an entire year prior to the Pi4, could boot from USB right away, could boot from eMMC, had a PCIe slot instead of a stupid hat system so it could take legit SATA cards and NIC cards on it. And it had a faster CPU and was cheaper. And did I say, launched an entire year prior. Let me put that into perspective, because the Pi4 struggled with USB booting for an entire year after launching. So you could have better boot options, better hdd interfacing, better mainline Linux support, and a faster CPU for a full two years before Pi4 even got USB booting and fixed their shitty PSUs.
Be objective. In what way am I wrong? How am I being unfair?
