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
Yeah, the Pi 5B is overkill but I figure I'll end up adding some other functions besides NAS. The onboard PCIe interface makes it a no-brainer for me.
Been a longtime DietPi user too. Way back in the early days of moOde, We spent some time exploring if moOde could be packaged as yet-another media system in the DietPi collection but after some back and forth with its creator Daniel Knight it was concluded there was too much conflict between the underlying design philosophies.
There is a DietPi flavor which will boot on an Odroid HC1 but that's a moot point because my HC1 is dead, dead, dead.
