I have 3 Odroids, 2 C2 and one C4.
I am not pleased with the images provided by hardkernel, but both are supported by Dietpi.
Dietpi is a armbian on diet, less RAM usage, less space on SD.
I run the C2 since 4 years 24/7, and it runs very cool ( 27°C ), it runs pihole in docker and provides an M.2 SATA in an USB-Adapter in my network with music, pictures and so on. The C2 does an extremely good job.
But i know what you mean, i have an Odroid M1 too, and the usability is pretty low, you can install Debia or Ubuntu, but if you like to run Armbia, you have to kill the original bootloader..
If the Odroid C2 would die, I would go for a Raspberry Pi 4 too. The Raspberry Pi 5 is a good Mediaplayer , but i think it uses too much power if used as a small Homeserver ( if you do not need the additinal performance ).
My 2 Cents, Tom
