How is this different from running a raspberry pi?

  And what is its purpose? Judging from the screenshot, its purpose seems to be to run a random assortment of open-source software packages, many of which overlap with each other, and many of which don't make sense to run inside a home network.

    The purpose is to allow anyone to run their own web server, for purposes of web decentralization. The advantage over a raspberry pi is it comes preconfigured so you don't have to be a computer geek to set it up https://www.freedomboxfoundation.org/ https://www.freedomboxfoundation.org/

      That doesn't give you "decentralization", though. It gives you a bunch of people running web applications on their home networks. Not the same thing.

      How does freedom box handle software updates or adding new services?
