Who here owns a raspberry pi?

Oh I'm so building that samplerbox with the kid. That looks awesome.

Im definitely curious about getting a Pi to run as a dedicated Super Nintendo emulator. Didnt know you could make music on them too.

My kid took one and built a full arcade stile console for it, using an old monitor, speakers, and some game controls he ordered a-la-carte over the internet. He's got like ten bazillion games on it. If I remember, I'll post a pic when I get home.

That is so stinkin cool

Yeh, 'cept for the sawdust everywhere in the garage, and my tools that never seem to go back to the same place twice - if at all. Still, pretty damn impressive for just a dumb kid.

Great info! Thanks! I had been wondering about the differences between the two. I use Ubuntu Mate for everything at home already, so I'm already familiar with it. Are there any other pros/cons of each?

Hmmm. I like the various GUI system tools in Ubuntu better than what Raspbian offers? I'm a noob in most ways, so nothing else comes to mind.

I'd like to get a lattepanda. It's similar but has USB3, faster processor and it can run windows 10.

I'm interested in all of them, but the Pi seems to have the edge on support and price. Depends on what you want to do, I guess. The LattePanda looks neat.

Support is everything. I got a pi 3 last year but decided I wanted a little more performance and purchased an Odroid xu4. Nice sbc but the support is lacking. I have tried to get ubuntu to work but it's a hassle so I run kali which is stable and always updated. Raspbian pixel just works and is optimized. I don't really use either for music but lmms runs on both, sunvox will run on the pi.
