Our tiny computers look very different from “normal” desktops, which can be a bit startling for beginners. But they are actually much easier to set up than you may think, and can perform all the same functions as that massive tower under the desk you keep stubbing your toe on.

We've created a simple step-by-step #tutorial to make sure you don’t get stuck at the first hurdle and leave your #RaspberryPi languishing in a drawer somewhere.

Thank you very much for all the work you are doing. 🙏 I'm wondering about the progress of the free firmware. This is the most current piece of information I could find: https://www.osnews.com/story/134773/how-is-the-free-firmware-for-the-raspberry-progressing/. Any news on this? It would be really cool to be able to boot a Raspberry without having to rely on closed source firmware.

your tiny computers cost as much as Intel mini-pc which is many times more powerful.
Do you care to answer why your official dealers only send overpriced bundles and never have bare boards in stock?
Rpis are everything but accessible these days

dit the raspberry pi not had a net install now? So plugin sd and boot and install? I thought that I’ve seen that

I live my Pi's, but come on, that's a bit of a stretch.

I really want a new pi but they have been sold out for weeks. When is the next batch going to be available in the US???

I can't get Destiny 2 or Halo Infinite to run on my Pi4, but they both work on my toe-stubber under the desk. Think you need to consider the wording if your posts a bit more, they're pretty misleading for beginners who might think they're getting something they're not.

@beefbaby182 stickers. Just put some stickers on it. Stickers fix everything.

it is a different processor. There is a lot of stuff you cannot do. I really wish things could be a little more compatible. If only it was all x64. Open source makes it possible to do a lot though, if only compiling from source was a little easier and more reliable.
