That is, the CrowPi project /itself/ isn't my bent, or the way I would choose to use the clever resources of RPi. I don't have a RPi 4, but I do have an RPi3B which only has 1G ram, but it is quite operational. It is configured as a desktop device, using a monitor, kb, and mouse which I already had before I acquired the RPi kit. There are many many projects that one can do w/ the economical RPi family. The crowpi one is partly about a hardware project in which kits are used to 'convert' the little singleboard into a 'laptop' computer of sorts, and then invites numerous other projects which aren't actually related to the laptop conversion, but which also could be done on a desktop system just as well. Much of the software is based on linux. The 'advantage' of much of what is discussed at crowpi I would assume is based on the 'portability' aspect. Some people are partial to laptops while others prefer desktops. Bring your project to the desktop or bring your laptop RPi to the project. There is very much about the crowpi project which is based on software for the popular linux systems which are most often used on RPi/s such as Raspbian. IMO Win including Win10 does not bring anything to the equation and in fact it would be MUCH much more restrictive in options. Personally I wouldn't choose to run Win10 on a 4G RPi when there are much better things that can be done w/ it. -- Mike Easter |

in : Just what some of us need, Will it run windows 10? :-) https://www.kickstarter.com/projects...erry-pi-laptop Yes. Win10 Won't boot from SD dough. Add a SSD and tweak the bootloader to use the SD to boot and run Win10 on de SSD. -- MdW. |

Further down scrolling brings up Ubuntu which I guess is more suitable for it, They really show a lot of different kits from budget price to pretty steep for the super deluxe set. Sure wish I would have had one when iI was younger, Seems like a lot of learning fun. Rene |

The RPi's popularity is based on its ability to bring economical 'smarts' to a wide variety of little 'homemade' devices to do interesting projects. In a sense, for most of those projects you don't actually need much of an 'elaborate' or bulky OS desktop for the job; just enough so that the user/developer is comfortable. Naturally some are OK w/ the commandline; personally I prefer a GUI, unless there is something I can do easier w/ a command. So, the less of your resources that you spend on the OS/desktop the better. On the RPi3B w/ Raspbian, the desktop is a lean version of LXDE integrated with a window manager over a stable Debian. In that situation, it can function like a 'regular' desktop computer and modern browser on its low resources. If I were buying an RPi today, it would be such as an RPi4 w/ 4G of ram, simply because the extra resources don't really cost much more. Â*Sure wish I would have had one when iI was younger, Seems like a lot of learning fun. Interestingly, the RPi comes w/ a free v. of Mathematica & the Wolfram language and there are Wolfram language and Wolfram community projects for it. https://www.wolfram.com/raspberry-pi/ That costs significantly more if approached from a conventional perspective. -- Mike Easter |

I set one up to get movie streaming and Internet to my TV. About $120 for the whole setup plus wireless keyboard/mouse. I can run youtbue videos, play mp4s off a USB stick, stream Kanopy movies from the local library... well worth it for that. I got another one for my brother who had a stroke and now just needs something simple to do web browsing and run TBird for email. For me, that's what it's good for. It's a $100 computer for basics, when you don't need to use productivity software. But I think you're right about the majority. People buy them to do little jobs like running a household light timer. |

Wow,I ran a search on Amazon .ca for RaspberryPI and it returned 596 items for it, there are pages of kits, boards cases, displays and all other related goodies. I didn't realize it had grown into such a big market. Rene |

I haven't looked into all the options. I just buy the kits, which come with everything you need except monitor and keyboard/ mouse. The Pi4 comes with ethernet plug, some USB, and an HDMI cable. It's all I need to run the Internet to the TV. |

It's all I need to run the Internet to the TV. The Pi4 comes with USB3, and that and some firmware changes have allowed booting the thing (finally) from an SSD. There is a version of Pi4 now, with 8GB of RAM. Which solves a complaint someone had about using it for doing builds and the builds being slow (lack of RAM). But each version uses a bit more electrical power. I don't know what size adapter they would use with all the stuff in the previous paragraph present. Paul |
