I used to use hundreds of PC-Engines APU4 units, I loved 'em but the processor is now beyond end-of-life. I ran FreeBSD and, occasionally, Linux on 'em.
I have switched to a unit based on Intel N5105 (x86/64 arch) with four Intel 2.5gbit i226 NICs and two M.2 slots. (Vendor is a company called Moginsok, they are on Amazon.) I am quite happy with it (although I add a fan) as an APU2 replacement (actually it is far more powerful than the PC-engines platform yet costs me less.)
I have quite successfully run out-of-the-box FreeBSD 14.0 and Linux (Fedora) on 'em.
