Yeah if you just want a little computer, sure, pick up the orange pi. But if you want any of the gpio stuff get a raspberry pi because none of the knockoffs seem to work with modern kernel.
My Libre, El Potato, works well enough. I use it to run octoprint on Debian Bullseye and the GPIO to turn on/off the printer and with some temperature sensors and to control the fan in the external electronics enclosure I built. But to be fair, it was a lot more trouble to set up than if I could have gotten my hands on a raspberry pi at the time.
