The use cases for the Raspberry PI is ridiculously varied which I think reinforces it's application support relative to Windows on ARM.
I have seen it used for openstack development, as a desktop, home theatre pc, pihole, nextcloud instance, emulator etc... I haven't really found software that I can't just install/use.
Can you say the same for any windows on arm deployment? Especially if they are only just coming out with mainstream support for OpenJDK and Electron support.
