Don't write off Arduinos quite yet; Qualcomm just announced the 
acquisition of Arduino. It must have been it the works for a while since 
Arduino is shipping the UNO Q at the end of the month. It has a Qualcomm 
Dragonwing MPU and a ST STM32 MCU. The top side is physically compatible 
with the UNO and the bottom side has additional connects.

https://www.arduino.cc/product-uno-q

The Dragonwing runs Debian rather than the Debian derived Raspberry Pi OS. 
The initial offering has 2GB of RAM but it will be followed by a 4GB 
version. 

It's an interesting design. The RPi 5 is a Cortex-A76 and brings out the 
GPIO lines almost as an afterthought, often with a Pico hung off the side 
for real time processing. The Dragonwing is a quad-core Cortex-A53 with 
the builtin ST with a Cortex-M33. The MCU has Arduino Core running on the 
Zephyr RTOS. That seems to be the way to go since Arm phased out their 
RTOS.

There's a new IDE too, although the current Arduino IDE will work too. 
That will make life a lot easier. STM parts are used in a lot of realtime 
systems but configuring the IDE is an arcane process as is their C++ SDK.
