Several years ago, I got some raspberry pi’s and some arduinos. I taught myself how to make hardware stuff, so much so that I built a salad making robot during Covid lockdown. Anyways I pretty quickly went the arduino route back then and haven’t touched raspberry pi in years. What is the use case where people need raspberry pi? I can see if you were trying to run a cheap full OS computer for some reason. But many people are talking about wishing they had them for hardware projects and I remember the raspberry pi being overkill for my uses. The arduino was simpler for me to use so I never quite get why I’d use the raspberry pi for a hardware project.
