This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

I honestly tell people not to buy a RasPi unless they really need the specific hardware form factor (GPIO, etc). For virtually every application, a second-hand USFF PC is cheaper and more powerful, has better I/O and comes with a quality PSU.

1000%. Used PCs are the way to go over a raspberry pi unless you have specific accessories or something. Almost everyone just uses a raspberry pi as a USB host or for network services anyway. Gpio use cases tend to be better served by Arduino or esp32 too
