tl;dr: It has been two weeks using the Pi 400 as my personal computer. It's good enough for what I do, but when I need performance y connect it to my old laptop.

So, last year I bought a Raspberry Pi 400 and I did what I always do: absolutely nothing. It was kept inside its box getting covered by dust.

About two weeks ago I decided to clean the mess out of my desk. This desk is very small and I've got my work laptop, my personal laptop, a monitor and a lot of cables and stuff. So I put my personal laptop below the router connected by ethernet and put the Pi 400 on the desk.

It is way slower than my laptop, obviously. So when I need performance I make an ssh tunnel for vnc and pipewire, and got my laptop DE back.

I used fscrypt for the /home partition, because I'm too paranoid to go unencrypted and it doesn't support full disk encryption. Also added a USB stick for more local storage, ciphered with the same tool.

I don't play video games any more :sad-pepe: so I don't miss a graphics card in the Pi.

I bought it with the official Raspberry mouse included. But I have no idea where it ended lost.

So now this is my "setup" lol.

What do you use it for?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

In the Pi I can do some web browsing, web shopping, check mail, social media, ssh my stuff, and watch some videos.

I still use my laptop for photo editing, watch videos if the Pi is being slow, virtual machines and everything the Pi can't handle.
