Alot of us who have a Raspberry Pi 3 or 4 might upgrade to the Raspberry Pi 5.

Doing so would leave us with 2 Pi’s. What are some great use cases for the older Pi, that would no longer be the main machine?

    What do you use the Pi for now?

    I had a bunch of Pi 3Bs sitting around, so I made piholes for a few friends and family, I made a dedicated MAME emulator that I never have time to play, and I gave one to each of my kids to learn about computers and linux. I also use one for work as a linux test environment for our software, but the 3 hardware doesn’t really keep up.

      Right now I use it for:

      • PiHole
      • Plex/Jellyfin
      • WireGuard VPN
      • Sonarr/Radarr and all that follows.

      I would consider giving it away to family for the same purpose. Thanks for the suggestion!
