I've tried to use a Raspberry Pi.
I never ever want to try to use that as a development platform again.
Maybe it's better now that it has more memory, but trying long ago it was so slow and painful that I don't want to try again.
And a remote thing just isn't interesting to me. If I'm not using it as my desktop, then why would I bother with it? It's a totally uninteresting piece of remote hardware that I have no interest in.
