Just on Amazon and looking at Pi stock, pricing, etc I believe there was a big shortage a while ago. Did anyone switch to an alternative and what were your results? Looking for static **vision** dashboards to a TV on HDMI/dP. I use OnLogic (e.g. CL250) for my Edge hosting, that's way overkill for this application. I have a server with Vision at this site. ---

Vision is a little bit of a pain to run on ARM platforms because the client launcher doesn't work, you end up having to cobble together a shell script to manually launch it and hope that never stops working after an upgrade ("legacy client launcher" is the magic search term). ---

I've done it before, albeit that was 2018ish. This is a site I'm onsite at every week for the foreseeable, so if one TV craps itself they won't mind much, as I have PDF reports being spat out on both production-based triggers and set schedules. I also have an Edge instance onsite with Perspective, so they can always leave that tablet beside a station if needed.
