I think that one of the big reasons folks are trying to use RPIs as computers is they're so incredibly energy efficient. For example, my wife's new 6-core computer with 8GB of memory uses >100W just idling. Why such a beefy machine? She likes to play the Sims, which doesn't work at all on low-power machines. But the fact that an RPI can run from a 5V USB adapter means that it doesn't hurt to leave it on 24x7. It's like Larry just commented - the requirements for software are so ridiculous anymore. I mean, installing Win7 taking up 20GB of hard drive space? Just for the OS? It's really sad - no wonder why things need so many resources and are so hard to troubleshoot when something blows up anymore... -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
