    Its been coming for a while tho. They abandoned the affordable market long ago. Buy banana pis or other knockoffs, those have been better than the raspberry versions for a long time anyways…

      How is the community on the alternatives? I always hear that raspberry Pis is easier to beginners due to the community. Alternatives are cheaper and faster but doesn’t have a big community so not too user friendly.

        I started with rockchip devices because I couldn’t get a real rpi. I had no trouble getting help for anything I was trying to do.

        Depends on what you get, grab an Ox64 to be thrown in the deep deep end, while anything that supports Armbian will be just fine.

      How did they abandon the affordable market? You can get a 1GB pi 4 for $35 today, the same price as when it launched. You get get a zero 2 for $15 I think. Just because the pi 5 is more expensive doesn’t mean they’ve abandoned the affordable market. They just widened the product line. Jeez.
