While there is some commercial/industrial use of RPi, that seems like an odd consideration when generally considering how they've positioned the brand. Meanwhile you can write and run very similar code across everything from the zero all the way up to the 5—which is enormous flexibility that x86 simply doesn't offer.
Plus, my understanding is that the N100 still tends to have poor driver support issues that the Pi likely doesn't with such a large community.

- mrguyorama 2y agoEvery raspberry pi, from Zero, Zero W, Zero 2 (great name guys), Pi 1, Pi 2, Pi 3, Pi 4, Pi 5 and every variation are all general purpose linux computers that can run pretty much any code you can run on a normal linux computer. They are all the same compilation target IIRC. If you wrote a program for the original Pi, you could have run it on every other Pi without modification or recompilation, depending on peripheral specifics I guess. Are you getting confused by the 2040?
- MisterTea 2y agoI am not at all confused by a microcontroller. I am confused because what you said about the pi can be said about x86.
