Here is the thing, I have 4 RPi’s of different generations (all the way from Zero W to 4B 4GB) that I use to host services at home for personal use.

Lately, I have realized I am running out of RAM to host more services, not to mention not enough switch ports to connect to.

Now I know the obvious solution is to get a more powerful setup (maybe a thin client) but electricity isn’t cheap and I am not particularly in the best shape financially speaking to shell out $300+ on a decent client to host my services.

Any suggestions?

      Established ecosystem, I’d guess. Also brand recognition. I mean, you can tell that this one is also called “some fruit name” PI, for good reason.

      More and more people are asking that question every day. Especially with the company going public.
