@LateNightLinux OFC you were - just like @heiseonline @ct_Magazin were when they bought some #Fujitsu #Futro Thin client with a Celeron J4105 in it, to the point that these are nowadays completely jacked up in pricing on #eBay.de ...
Personally, I use some #hp #t620's as #MiniServer and they run flawlessly with @ubuntu / #Ubuntu 22.04 LTS #Server...
OFC they can also run @Raspberry_Pi #RaspberryPiOS, @bunsenlabs #BunsenLabsLinux and even @tails_live #Tails just fine...
@HopelessDemigod Tho it won't run on #i086 or #i286 but I think a #hp #t620 is also okay in that regard...
After all, being able to just shove the entire floppy in RAM provides a super-snappy and fast experience!
And I do have a soft spot for #ThinClients that are #fanless and provide a very cheap - espechally on the used market - computing experience.
Likewise I think more people would learn #Linux if they had more options besides a @Raspberry_Pi to get crackin':

@aurora sadly every competitior just vomits out some boards with shit to nonexistent documentation.
You might - if you don't need #ARM64 but could also use #ix86 / #amd64 - choose some #ThinClient like a #hp #T620 which can be had for as little as €30 with power supply, optional stand, 4GD DDR3L-SODIMM and 8GB M.2 B-Key SSD.
@billgoats I recommend something like a #hp #T620 #ThinClient for those that want to poke with #Linux on the #Desktop.
You can get one used with 4 GB RAM, WiFi and power supply for less than a @Raspberry_Pi #Pi4B2GB or #CM4WLite1GB at MSRP.
It'll run anything from #RaspberryPiOS for #ix86 and #lightweight #Linux distros like @bunsenlabs #BunsenLabsLinux to @ubuntu #UbuntuServer LTS and even @tails #Tails.
Tho #UbuntuDesktop will feel very slow on it.
But with something like #Porteus it's fine.
