Why do people dislike raspi now?

They helped get so many people including myself started on running nodes. Don’t hate on the Pi.

They are great little machines however they are prone to freezing up. Nervous times if you are a #lightning #noderunner. This is why I switched. Still have one just not as my node.

I was running into RAM/Swap issues. Moved to Optiplex Mini 16GB RAM with SSD drive instead of 4GB + onboard eMMC (Stopped using SD card after the first card issues) and turned off swap to reduce wear and it's been running very well since. Raspi should still be ok if you have 8GB. Found I ended up having to run a very limited app loadout on the 4GB.
Yea love the form factor. Mine looks like a tiny black box with LEDs

I was wondering the same thing. Maybe price/availability? And nice cheap alternatives?

The super slow IBD aside Raspi4 w 4GB RAM running a MyNode is usable. Understand the limitations of your hardware, don’t try to run bloated servers with shiny GUIs on them and it will be fine.
