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.)
It doesn't have h.264 hardware decoding though, so ironically 4k HEVC/h.265 will probably play just fine but 1080p h.264 might struggle depending on your cooling solution.
The folks at Libreelec say it can software decode 4K h264 smoothly
I wonder if it'll be powerful enough to run a Jellyfin server and actually handle some transcoding now
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!
"we notice everyone is having trouble getting our previous model due to scalpers, so we released a new version at double the price!"

Goddamn it, just after I bought a Beelink mini PC a couple weeks ago.
OpenGL 3.1 and Vulkan 1.2 in 2023? It's so terrible!
It's the lack of hardware AV1 that concerns me, as well as droppong h.264. Raw CPU means it'll still handle the latter, but since streaming will be moving to AV1 it's kind of questionable whether this will be a reasonable media center.
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.
