I don't know why this comment was dead. Pine64 is legit and the Star64 looks like a viable option.

Anyone with experience on the Star64? I've had some rough times in the past with Pine64 products, from boards dying to the pinebook pro suddenly unable to boot from sd card. Better documentation would have helped. I didn't have hours to comb through forums and discords/matrices.

Still have a major warm place in my heart for Pine64 though, and overall have felt like they're a good value.

I guess the question was about board with specs similar to Pi Pico (~264kB of RAM) and the Star64 is more similar to RPi4 (~4GB of RAM).

Right, the Star64 is like the full-size Pi; the equivalent to the Pico would be the Ox64 line.
