What I learned from using a Raspberry Pi 5 as my main computer for two weeks

Pi 5's speed makes it a useful and usable general-purpose desktop, with limits.

During my two weeks of using a Raspberry Pi 5 as my main computer, I discovered that its speed and performance make it a viable option for general-purpose desktop use. The Pi 5 handled everyday tasks such as web browsing, word processing, and multimedia playback with ease. However, there were limitations, particularly when it came to more demanding applications or multitasking.

Overall, the Raspberry Pi 5 proved to be a versatile and cost-effective alternative to traditional desktop computers. Its compact size and energy efficiency make it ideal for a variety of projects and applications, from home automation to educational purposes. While it may not replace high-end desktops for power users, the Pi 5 offers a compelling option for those looking for a budget-friendly computing solution.
