Raspberry Pi's are the right fit in specific cases.
For example, you need to interface the GPIO pins to some devices.

But there are issues with it in other cases.
For example, the cost rises as you include accessories, such as a case, fan, various hats, and so on.

If you just need a low(er) power x86 platform to run a stock Linux distro, then plain mini PCs or older models of Intel/ASUS NUCs will fit the bill nicely.

You can get a 2018 NUC for ~ $100 or so.

They already come with M.2 slots, and some have SATA connectors.
They have SODIMM slots so you can upgrade RAM later if you want.

Running Xubuntu or Ubuntu Server is a breeze.

If the game bugs up 10% of the time I am out. I'd rather play it on Windows.

Unless it's a Bethesda game, in which case only bugging up 10% of the time would be an improvement over the Windows version.

Don't be such a hater, at this rate we'll reach 95% market saturation for desktop gaming by the year 3,562

Indeed. And yet Stephen Miller is still gonna have a tremendous fit. Probably more so.

OK. But I'm pretty sure that generation could have gone to the moon 11 years after without the spousal abuse as well.

Microsoft Office if Microsoft Office compatibility is what you are going for, which it seems these groups are.

This, however, is far from that point. ... But I *do* prefer LibreOffice. However my use case is different.

Not necessarily impossible...but almost always inadvisable. They can be sure that all their actual competitors already have copies before they get the takedown issued.

In this case I don't think a takedown will even limit the damage...it might well exacerbate it.

At some point it just seems less exhausting to just use Office.

Well, he did say "for some imaging tasks". That's probably a reasonable goal...but you've got to be *very* selective.

Muscles, bones, tendons, ligaments...
The all need exercise to develop properly.

This is actually a smart move if they envision ever trying to go after other companies for using their code. "If it wasn't for public use, why didn't you even try to get the distributor to take it down?"

It won't be that way, at least for the first several decades. Bodies need to be exercised to grow properly. After that, I suppose we might be able to slip an AI operated control inside the brain cavity, and have it exercise the body properly...but this opens the door to other problems.
