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:

Anon is often crazy.
Anon is often depressed.
Anon frequently shares thoughts that are immature, offensive, or incomprehensible.

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
