Intel processors in SBC

I hope that I'm posting my question in the correct forum!

I want to try Linux. I want to get a mini PC or Small Form Factor or a SBC. I haven't yet made up my mind as to what processor to choose - ARM, like Raspberry Pi, or X86. There are few ARM-optimized Linux distros. So, I'm leaning towards X86.

I've noticed that most minis or SFFs or SBCs have Intel processors. Very few have AMD processors.

Why is that?

Because Intel does not deal in AMD processors.

You need to ask your questions to those OEMS who make such devices.
