For those of you who use Raspberry Pi’s in your home environment, I’m curious as to what you use them for. What applications are you running on them? Do you have your Pi’s setup in a cluster?

I own a raspberry pi 4. Every time I try to use it, I spend half my time trying to fix the stuttery/non responsive UI by fucking with the compistor and such. And then I give up.

I eventually got a new gaming PC and turned my old one into a Linux server, and haven't really touched my Raspberry Pi since.

And I’ll give you $10 for it

Try running a server image on it without desktop and then logging into it over the network from another device like a laptop via ssh

My usecase required a GUI. I was trying to have a mini PC connected to my TV to watch live sports games in a web browser (pirated streams). I was getting micro stutters with a raspberry pi, which made sports unwatchable.

I had similar problems doing the same thing with a Pi 4.
