Yeah let's stop here, you say people think Linux can run "general-purpose apps" but a raspi cant. Just stop try to prove your right...by moving the goalposts.

Arduino is a Micro-controller, Raspberrypi is a SBC -> Single board computer.
>>and user community that designs and manufactures single-board microcontrollers

>>Raspberry Pi (/paɪ/) is a series of small single-board computers (SBCs)

And no, don't start with your "but normal people blabla"...because "normal" people go to wikipedia to learn something ;)
- shadowgovt 4y agoNo, a RasPi is a GNU/Linux platform and can run general-purpose apps. You misunderstood my comparison; RasPi is a computer. I'm saying nobody considers an Arduino a "computer" in the same category as a Raspberry Pi is a computer (and similarly, nobody should consider Kristall a web browser, though it is something else, which is cool).
- nix23 4y ago> a raspi is a GNU/Linux platform I run BSD/BSD on it and it's not a platform but a Computer. >nobody considers an Arduino a "computer" True, because it's a f*** Microcontroller understood?
- shadowgovt 4y agoYes, we're saying the same thing. And by analogy, Kristall is a "microbrowser" and I think HN had a bad reaction to it because the top-level description was "a browser." It's the Arduino of browsers. That doesn't make it bad, but this site is full of pedants and when you call a tool by a slightly-different name, you get "um-actually'd" to death. (Sometimes, you even get someone swearing at you because they think you don't know the difference between a general-purpose small computer and a microcontroller ;) ).
