The problem with the RPi is that it was released with that (educational) purpose in mind, and so the foundation does not take it seriously as a gaming machine (which obviously should have been 99% of the focus just like the C64). The 1, 2 and 3 GPU could not do skin mesh animation because it lacked enought registers and in the 4, half-floats and OpenAL are still buggy in the GPU driver and nobody cares because nobody even tries to use it for anything else than servers. I have switched to the Jetson Nano (1/2 of a Nintendo Switch, actually based on broken Switch chips) which has the right balance between GPU and CPU. Eventually someone will make a TWM desktop for it.
