If you can see the "show contact info" dropdown below, I follow you. If you want me to, ask and I'll think about it.
the thing about raspberry pis isn't that they're good for the price, or that there aren't more powerful boards. it's that the raspi company makes a board for 10+ years and then you can find plenty on eBay, so it's kinda a stable hardware target
like all stable hardware targets, it's poorly documented and has a lot of deep magic
Right? There's very little reason to buy a raspberry pi if you don't have a hardware project in mind – second hand business thin clients are far more powerful for the same money if you just want a small computer in your house
Also a well-defined answer to “what OS/software do I run on it” (their own Debian variant, or these days you can run vanilla Debian or Ubuntu on a Pi 4).
The answer to that question was… less obvious on the competitors' websites that I looked at, last time I checked (earlier this year).
