What is so special about the Raspberry Pi?

What is so special about the Raspberry Pi?

Why do people love it?

It's not really all that special, it's just cheap and already widely adopted by many people. Lots of operating systems and software support it readily aswell.

Can you run Windows 1.0 on it?

They're powerful enough for servers/streaming devices and such, they're small, and pretty inexpensive (around $35).

Y tho

Just use Windows 10 on a normal computer, whats the point of using these shit mobile computers anyways? I swear to fucking god every time I see some autist try and use these, or ask for help regarding the shit rasberry pi """""computer""""" It makes me step onebday closer to fucking killing myself. I MEAN FUCK, there's literally no valid reason any normal person, or even your normal Sup Forums autist should even consider buying one of these pieces of shit. All this post really shows is OP's ignorance of microcomputing, and what using a computer is for. I mean it just makes ms so mad to see people use a fucking ARM based computer, then expect the peice of shit to actually function, let alone think they can be used for developement based projects. Last is the fucking hipster shit fucks who make """"gaymer""" tier """"emulation"""" """"consoles"""" Thats not only a waste of a shit computer, but a waste time, energy, and recourses.

Literally fucking kill yourself
fucking autists

i hope you didn't actually take the time to type this user lolol

it's popular. popularity = many solved problems, also interesting software. For example, do other arm boards have quite powerful radio transmitter software that uses some kind of ram clock wizardy? I doubt it.
