I do not consider any Ubuntu to be a 'consumer operating system'. I am not a Raspberry Pi person, however, the projects that people are doing on that are definitely in the spirit of the BBC Micro (Model B obviously) and there is a lot of it going on. Recently I saw a model railway controlled by a Raspberry Pi with a phone app. This was not a 'computing project' but a model railway hobby. You are not going to see projects such as this unless you are into model railways. What I find funny is that the people that used messaging boards in the last century were sneered at as losers. Cool kids went partying, they did not sit in front of a glowing screen exchanging messages with friends they could meet in person. This crowd were not so keen on the social media applications because of tracking, the three letter agencies and tin foil hat availability. Therefore, in 2022, the OG online messaging crew are not doom scrolling on hand rectangles. There is some generalisation here, but social media is not for this crowd - they don't take selfies. The situation is now turned on its head, with the normal people totally absorbed by social media to be tracked everywhere they go without a care. That may be the majority, however, not everyone is 'normal' and I am glad to see so many Raspberry Pi projects going on.
