    Bah, there’s so many RPi clones and offshoots now I wonder if they can even survive the coming market. Especially when RISC-V SBC’s are becoming more common.

        This. I buy RPi because it’s the cheapest/lowest-power-consumption computer where you can get actual good support and good guides online on how to solve common problems with it, not because it’s the best bang-for-buck. I think about the weird-ass problems I had with my RPis and I’d hate to deal with that crap without access to the amount of help online you get with a Pi.

      They are not much cheaper though. Often they’re even more expensive than a Pi with similar specs.
