Ask HN: Are there faster but 100% compatible Raspberry Pi alternatives?

5 points by qwerty456127 4y ago ↗ HN

I love my Raspberry Pi 4 with its brand OS and the Noobs multi-boot set-up (switching between the full desktop, LibreELEC and Lakka) but it feels painfully slow on many websites, namely YouTube. I'd like a faster CPU still running the exactly same OS (not just Debian or anything else). Is this possible? Are there any fully compatible alternatives?

No because it doesn't include Mathematica.

A Raspberry Pi is needed to run Mathematica legally.

I think https://beagleboard.org/ are compatible?

Is it possible it's a software issue? A 1.5GHz quadcore seems decently fast if comparing to many phones.
