Is an Intel N100 or N150 a better value than a Raspberry Pi?

Word of warning on those GMKtec PCs. They put all their drivers on a Google Drive account that they don't pay for, and there are no known mirrors of some of the drivers. So when you suddenly need to do a reinstall one day, remember that their GDrive will be over-quota for a month and you'll be SOL for a few weeks unless you can match the drivers to the ones from the OEMs.

This is the most wtf thing I have read on Hacker News in a day or so. Thanks, I was considering them as an N100 alternative to my Raspberry Pi 4. Maybe I'll search a little more...

What drivers does one need for the N100? Mine just runs Ubuntu 24 and I've never needed any vendor drivers.
