> just buy a Jetson nano and throw Linux on it

I've been writing gstreamer-based inference pipelines for a couple years on Jetsons and in my experience there is never a "just" with any of the these, sadly. It is such a painful platform to deal with at a software level... I wish NVidia had more competition.

Without RidgeRun wiki's working pipelines I'd have suspected gstreamer on Jetson never worked at all. It's beautiful when everything comes together but absolutely chock-full of gotchas.

Plus Nvidia seems to think that an acceptable time frame to support a Jetson model is like 2 years, which makes them effectively abandonware soon after launch. They get one LTS OS distro and that's it.

Compare that to ~15 years of ongoing support that the Pi foundation does for the average Pi.

I concur. I've been in that ecosystem for a few years and I finally had to give up on my Jetson Nano in "favor" the new Jetson Nano Orin. Which did solve a lot of my issues with software, and I paid for it, too. Just say no to Nvidia sbc lol but it's extremely powerful when the software is aligned with your goals.
