So SBCs are shit now? Anything I can do with my collection of Pis and old routers?

I dunno when it happened but I swear SBCs were the new best thing in the universe for a while and everyone was building cool little servers with their RockPis and OrangePis.

Now it's all gone x86 and Proxmox with everyone shitting on Arm. What happened? What gives?

Is my small army of xPis pointless? What about my 2 Edge routers?

I've got about 6 xPis scattered round my flat - is there anything worth doing with them or should I just bin them?

All thoughts, feelings and information welcome. Thank you.

  • I missed this sentiment. Just bought my first RPI (5) and it's a neat little toy. I have some pretty specific requirements I'll have to work toward but I like tinkering with it. The size, price and low power consumption beat any of the mini PCs I found. Then again I'm probably out of the loop

    • I'm the same. Took my sweet time getting my Pi5 and now I'm a zealot!
