@mr_creosote It's fine, if your requirements are modest.
Raspberry Pi 400 is also fine as a general use desktop PC, although it struggles with stuff like Godot.
Pi 5 is functionally more capable than the 12-year-old Core i5 laptop I use in the bedroom.
Source: me, I work with a Pi 5 on a daily basis, although it's not my main workstation
Flathub's push for aarch64 packages has made life a lot easier (although I still prefer doing source compiles or installing from the apt repo to keep bloat down).
