I have a Raspberry Pi 4 Model B with 8GB of RAM, and I’m looking for a bit more powerful solution that would have similar power consumption. I would like to host a Minecraft server, but chunks take too long to generate. Do you have any recommendations?

    I’m not sure if they are much more powerful but Pine64 might have some products you may want to check out.

    I use the RockPro64 pretty regularly.

      Wow that’s still active? I remember getting one when they had a kickstarter way back and realizing quick that it doesn’t matter how nice the hardware is if support is non existent. Glad to hear they are still around and I am guessing the community is much larger these days. I’ll have to see if I can dig my original model up from somewhere and see what I can use it for these days.

        It’s definitely gotten larger since the introduction of the Pinephone and Pencil (soldering iron). The PineNote (eink tablet) and LoRa add on for the PinePhone are some things I’m excited to see more support for.

        Here’s some Lemmy communities if you want to check them out.

        !pine64@lemmy.ml

        !pinephone@lemmy.ml

        !pinetime@lemmy.ml

        I’d also recommend checking out their Wiki. Specifically the software sections.
