I think part of the problem in that instance, might be "success" being necessary but not sufficient for "surviving and thriving"; and unfortunately sometimes that isn't explained along the way to even people who become conventionally successful (but, perhaps we can try to improve an awareness of the issue going forward for future gens)
Consider it my rpi. I have orange pi rv2 (8GB + 2TB NVME), it's the agentic nest where the harness runs and nfs+dlna archive is hosted. One of the agentic personas has the root. The thing is plugged into the router over Ethernet. It's not the fastest raspberry pi shaped thing on the network, but everything I needed worked without fiddling with FDT and using off-mainline builds. Somehow getting arch port to riscv64 and flashing it to microsd was enough to get things running. It probably even has functioning HDMI, but I'm not sure of that.
