    I hope they include a magnifying glass so I can read it. Where are all the mobile-first touch friendly UIs on devices like these? I know of only one that tried to do it right, the CutiePi. Everyone else just ships plain old desktop Linux and it’s not a great experience on a small screen.

      Oh, you actually want to use it?

      I thought stuff like this was only meant for YouTubers to put in their backgrounds while they talk about 3D printers.

        Display art was also my assumption, clocks, plays lists, posters, etc. Most people I know would get one of their other versions so they can turn it into a retro game machine that has the direction pad.

          The emulation community isn’t concerned in the least with the Raspberrypi anymore, practically. Cheap eBay AMD and Intel SBC, demand for Switch and PS3 emulation saw to that, and Anbernic and Retroid.

          DIY is fun, but it kills it for me when there’s a $200 product of equivalent specs to what you’re spending night after night in Fusion360 building for the same price and a lot less time.
