Factoring everything including availability (Raspberry Pis might as well be mythical now) where do you stand? What’s your favourite and comment why.

@gpowerf are we factoring in the current hoohaa with Pi’s weirdly combative social media person (people?) 😅
I’ve sided with option E: repurposing an old laptop with Batocera on account of how tricky boards are to get currently. I’m pretty pleased with the results so far, but will be interested in the result of this poll - an SBC would be a *touch* less difficult to fit in the cabinet!

@gpowerf repurposed 2nd hand Thin Clients, _loads_ of cheap ones to be found on eBay, OLX, etc. #RaspberryBye

@gpowerf @confusedbunny Still RPi. Use it mostly for retro computer projects and have no hardware skills myself. All existing projects require mostly a RPi Zero W, some a RPi 3B, but none are compatible with the others.

personal opinion about the RPi recent hire controversy 

@gpowerf @confusedbunny Also am increasingly surprised about the crowd here simply dismissing RP because they hired someone that just did his job and also a job that is very much needed if you like it or not.
