From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I have a 4 on server hosting and 3 3s idle. If I buy the 5 I would have 4 Pis idle
They go for good prices on eBay.
But you should keep them because you could have a good use for it in a future side project.... right? .... right???
Definitely. Got to be something that will come up.
i have no sympathy for hoarders
Your disregard for my future projects disgusts me
🤝 fair enough!
The future: when I'll finally use this stuff.
I made a nice nextcloud server on mine :)
I was also planning to do one with a new 1TB hdd or ssd attached. This might be what the 4 will become due to its CPU and memory
Yes, this is exactly what I did, with a 1TB SSD. I tried to host a Jellyfin server as well, but it didn't have the oomph for that. A plan for my 10yo Mac Pro once I finally retire it lol
