Unless it can natively run all the existing ready-to-go Pi images and software packages and will also receive community support when I ask for help in a Pi-adjacent forum it's not really going to be a competitor to the Pi. The hardware is pretty much irrelevant.

Damn, I got a Pi 4 8GB ram. Still planning on putting recalbox on it though.

Do you research very well before buying other boards than a Pi. It may be for you or now, depends a lot on your use-case.

I recently bought a Quartz64

The full PCIe slot on those boards is just gold. I have a NanoPi M4v2 that also has PCIe in a M2 slot, used a cheap board to get 6 sata ports out of it.
