As though a desktop tower is an immovable obelisk? That cant be connected to a tv, or a large monitor? Are the days of getting together for LAN parties really so forgotten? Does the emulator Pi do anything besides being an emulator? A standard desktop emulates and plays regular games, and does actual useful stuff also...
Stinks of just a cheap fad for fake nerds to me. I mean shit, my cell phone runs emulators to, can be hooked or smartcast to a tv, and is always in my pocket. Plus it doesn everything else a regular computer does too for the most part. Plus I already paid for it for the whole phone part.
Idk. I probably just dont get it
not for everyone, I use real hardware. They aren't even good for electronics projects. I have two and one is setup with exodus so my wife can watch retarded TV shows and the other has a gopher server running as well as the bbs I am working on setting up. They only do one channel pulse width modulation and it is bit banged so they can't even control motors correct. I use arduinos or just design analog circuitry.
Install raspbian and enjoy a power saving computer for basic tasks.
