Instead we should use an Android or an iOS device, where we are totally shackled to the whims of the $$$corp with no root account ? Of course we should be 100% under surveillance by the corporations, because this makes the money wheel spinning ? Get yourself a Freedom Computer: https://www.olimex.com/Product...

You are spreading the usual Wintel F.U.D. "only cooking plate-grade processors are useful". I am writing this on a Teres Netbook, which runs on a similar CPU as the RPI 4. I use an RPI as my personal cloud server. Works like a breeze.

There exists a very nice world outside the dollarized internet you lament about. Get in touch with your local Linux User group.

The Teres Netbook/Laptop from OLIMEX is another great piece of computing hardware, just like the RPI. + It runs a version of Debian on an ARM 64 bit processor. + No keylooger, unlike a certain commercial OS. + No tracking of websites visited by the device. + Full root access for me, no golden cage. + Entire device is open-sourced, except the semiconductors, which is much better than most devices out there. + All spare parts can be bought when needed + Designed in Europe, assembled by Yourself. No need to rely on slavework. + About 300 Euros cost with shipping.
