Things can do

Since Orange Pi Zero3 has Cortex-A53 that is an ARMv8 CPU, it support AArch64 (ARM64).

There are many programs can run on ARM64, they made docker images for arm64 too.

Just look for name of the executable file, it may contain: arm64, armv8, aarch64.

In my experience, Orange Pi Zero3 can run many programs just like Raspberry Pi 3 which has same CPU implementing. You may expect some features don't fully work (e.g GPIO) because Orange Pi support is simply not the same level as Raspberry.

After all, I definitely recommend this board. It worth the money.
