I would complain that I got expensive motherboard without any memory or cpu.

And then bolted it to the wall.

It’s a perfect platform for a virtualization monster. I would build out an SRE home base, VM’s for Kubernetes environment that will then host Jenkins, Tableau, Grafana. Add in some additional VM’s for running InfluxDB, and some dev/testing VM’s.

Or jump on the hype train and run an OpenSource LLM AI like Dolly or other LLaMA based AI’s.

This dev kit looks amazing. I can’t wait till I can run a desktop style system like this.
