From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Even the Pi has lost its headphone jack...

I have no idea (yet) what I'll do when I buy one.

Bit overpowered for that alone, isn’t it. Got Pi-Hole running on a first gen Pi Zero W without issues and resources to spare.

Can't wait for this to be impossible to buy from anyone but scalpers.

https://rpilocator.com/ shows the Pi situation has been solved for a while.

We will see if this one is actually available, I mean I would definitely like one but not for 100€+ because scalpers got theie hands on the entire supply!

Am I correct in saying this Pi5 will be the best chance at a very performant desktop PC? That seems very much where they were headed with all these designs.

For performance you probably want something like a Orange Pi 5, in most workloads its significantly faster and uses less power doing so. But is also 20$ more expensive and probably doesn't have the community support around it.
