Hello, I'm looking to buy an ARM SBC with:

  1. Bluetooth
  2. Connection for monitor x3
  3. CPU: x86 AMD
  4. Graphics integrated
  5. LAN x2
  6. Mobo: I'm unsure on mini pc mobos, but needed?
  7. Power
  8. Ram: 16-32GB preferred
  9. Storage: small is fine 32GB-256GB, nothing large like 1TB
  10. USB for mouse
  11. USB for spare
  12. Wi-Fi for hotspot

 

I usually use Raspberry Pi 5, however the Bananapi-M7 appears to have dual port, although I haven't confirmed the other requirements I need.

 

The question is which OS do I download please? as per https://www.armbian.com/bananapi-m7/

1st option (Noble Gnome) with full featured desktop, where (almost) all features works / are enabled. Second is for IOT / server and others are ... there is some small info why they are. If you don't know why, skip / ignore them.

I'm sorry for a lack of understanding.

Is there an ARM SBC (single board computer) and an ARM OS that can fit my preferred hardware requirements please?

Thank you, I've done some research and refined what I'm looking for:

 

Bluetooth

Connection for monitor x3 like AOC 22B2H (HDMI, USB-C, or the MIPI connections, unsure what is needed?)

CPU: RISC-V preferred to ARM or x86

Graphics integrated

LAN x2

Mobo: I'm unsure on mini pc mobos, but needed?

Power: whatever

Ram: 16-32GB preferred, DDR5?

Storage: small is fine 32GB-256GB, nothing large like 1TB. M.2 NVMe appears to be fastest.

USB for mouse

USB for spare, for Home Assistant Zigbee bridge

Wi-Fi for hotspot
