The main reasons are low price and the ability to expand the Pi in all sorts of ways making it the perfect mini-computer for all sorts of projects. In my case I’ve been looking into building both a PiHole-computer (filter ads etc) and several OctoPi-servers to use with my 3D-printers.

Relying heavily on the dual reality and not paying enough focus on either, The Medium is a title that wants too much to be a new Silent Hill.
