I'm looking at my Jetson Nano in the corner which is fulfilling its post-retirement role as a paper weight because Nvidia abandoned it in 4 years.

Nvidia Jetson Nano, A SBC for "AI" debuted with already aging custom Ubuntu 18.04 and when 18.04 went EOL, Nvidia abandoned it completely without any further updates to its proprietary jet-pack or drivers and without them all of Machine Learning stack like CUDA, Pytorch etc. became useless.

I'll never buy a SBC from Nvidia unless all the SW support is up-streamed to Linux kernel.

And unless there is some expanded maintenance going on, 22.04 is EOL in 2 years. In my experience, vendors are not as on top of security patches as upstream. We will see, but given NVIDIA's closed ecosystem, I don't have high hopes that this will be supported long term.
