My laptop is wearing out and it's a gamble to get that thing to turn on, so I'm stuck using a Raspberry Pi I had laying around for the time being. Now, I'm realizing how shitty software support is for this thing.
Seriously, I see ZERO reason to use one of these outside of creating portable devices like PDAs or handheld game consoles using something like Arduino to create controls. You are better off just using a used/old laptop, a mini desktop like the System76 Meerkat, or a modded game console for your home server, emulation station, home arcade cabinet or whatever. Even if you need a SBC for your project, there are much better choices available.
