At the time of writing this in 2020, the humble Raspberry Pi has come a long way.

The latest model, the Raspberry Pi 4 is more powerful than the netbooks that were all the rage.

It's often used for various home server or gadget platform, but it IS a full computer that can be used as a desktop.

I myself building a slightly steampunk all-in-one based on the pi.

They're constantly making installing an operating system and making use of it easier and easier!

For full and official documentation, check: https://www.raspberrypi.org/.

For this kind of thing though, you'll probably find a combination of official docs, and https://www.youtube.com/ to be best.

If a Raspberry Pi is short on the horse power or architecture that you need, you're mostly out of luck.

If however, the Raspberry Pi is short on features; you may just have some work to do

You can find hardware and kits for speakers, touch displays, battery power, etc.
