Rasbperry Pi is a popular choice as a SoC / SBC Linux board. But you have to use their custom linux kernel. Are there Linux boards with decent mainline Linux kernel support?

    They seem to be the only product that occupies negligible space and is relatively affordable.

    The other options are either more expensive or significantly larger.

      Well, not really. The HP g3 mini is roughly the size of a paperback book and costs around 100€, depending on the specs. Similar devices of slightly older makes are even cheaper.

      So, yes, they are physically larger, but still pretty small. Chances are, you don't actually need a tiny device like a Pi, so you should at least consider SFF PCs.
