    Yeah it's been a great jumping off point, you basically just turn it on and it runs. I used the 7" 'official' touch screen, and it is surprisingly just plug and play. It feels great to know the software isn't spying on you constantly, and the way everything gets handled by the package manager is awesome. Unfortunately Pihole/DNS filtering doesn't work very well against youtube or other massive sites that serve the ads from their own domain, so I was kind of toying with the idea of using it as a media server or something

      originally i just wanted a tiny computer to break. my dad really fucked with my head when i was younger about "breaking" computers so even though i like tinkering i want to get over my hyper perfectionism. i thought about media server too but have an older PC with a good robust mobo and server grade athlon processor i was going to do this with instead. my dream for a pi is to make a tiny retrobox for old school games. there used to be an all in one linux-based emulator software package you could download but i think it disappeared likely for IP reasons or something.
