Rant: The frustrating Orange Pi Zero

Update: Scroll down... As a long time Raspberry Pi user, I recently bought two Orange Pi Zero single board computers from AliExpress wanting to try out the competition. I setup one of them as my OctoPrint server to run my 3D printer. (Taking over from a Raspberry Pi 2 that I was using.) Turns out that I wasted my money and should have stuck with tried and true Raspberry Pi line of single board computers. My advice to others considering these is to just stick with Raspberry Pi as well. UPDATE: Some have asked about what OS I was running. It was Armbian 5.38. I took a look at the syslog for the Orange Pi and found this: It was running fine until July 22 around 06:25am. No more logs or checkpoints after that. Then at 13:17 on July 22 it rebooted itself... but in that boot-up this entry: Jul 22 13:17:06 3dprinter kernel: [ 15.799152] thermal thermal_zone0: critical temperature reached (139 C), shutting down. So that's when it "protected" itself but it just rebooted. A couple minutes later it just froze up no more logs until I rebooted it yesterday. Seems like something happened to cause the SOC to go into overload and overheat. It eventually rebooted.... saw the high temp and tried to protect itself, but it just rebooted again and crashed. #fail UPDATE #2 Aug 17: I left the second board running my printer with ethernet. I went to login to it to print something and it appeared locked up. Tried to connect via SSH and I got a Login and password prompt on SSH but then hung. Went to look at the board and yep, the second one was now burning hot. Luckily, since it was in free air and I had left a heat sink attached, it wasn't so hot it was melting or turning brown. A reboot and it worked again... Anyway, it's clearly unreliable to I installed Raspian on the SD card, put that into my Pi 2 and configured OctoPrint on that. I was running on this Pi 2 for maybe 9 months with this printer with zero issues.... So the Orange Pis are going to go in my drawer to likely never be used again.
