    If it's just a cheap Linux capable Pi-like board then you're really spoiled for choice:

    • Libre Computer Le Potato (a Pi 3 B+ clone with HDMI 2.0)
    • Libre Computer La Frite (a Pi 3 B+ clone)
    • OrangePi Prime
    • Banana Pi M3
    • Mango Pi (are you seeing a pattern yet)
    • Pine64 Rock64
    • Rock Pi 4
    • Odroid XU4
    • ASUS Tinker Board

    And many, many more.

      @git please comrade make a thread explaining this for us dumb old people. I would really like to get into this sort of creator space, but I'm dumb as bricks and can't even fathom where to start if it doesn't involve going to google dot com and typing "raspberry pie computer best value cheap"

        PiHole just requires anything that can essentially run as a supported Linux distro. https://docs.pi-hole.net/main/prerequisites/ so your assumption is probably correct based on a sampling of those suggestions I looked up.

        I currently have it in a Debian VM on my server (i.e. an old Thinkpad), but I've also run it in the past on both a raspberry pi 1 and 2, since the raspberry pi operating system is just a Debian derivative.
