Raspberry pis are great for projects like they are made for, if you want to learn linux put it on a desktop. Also what is it about Linux that you want to learn?

I bought a raspberry pi and i use it as a mobile gaming device that i take to my friends LAN parties where we play diablo 2. I have it attatched to the back of an old monitor i have and just bring a small keyboard and wireless mouse while running d2 in wine. I dont know why but its pretty comfy

>I want to learn Linux
Why do I hear this so often? Please specify what you actually want to learn. I'm guessing it isn't even about Linux.

The eyes can't see over 0.001 fps ya faggot

>>55428033

that model is shit desu. I got it as a regift from my cousin because he didn't know "What a Linux is".
If your gonna buy one, get a newer model.
New ones with more USB ports are especially useful. Plus that one cant run half the new operating systems.

I want to learn networking.
Don't assume I'm a pleb just because I only run standard OS's.

You're just trying to justify lust for some new hardware. Having a Raspberry 3.14 is not going to teach you bash and your Linux experience will be way better on your desktop.

Unless you want to try out GPIO or just simply learning how to install programs on linux.
It's boring.
If you want to try linux get one of those x86 generic ass chinkboxes.
Or a LattePanda SoC which has x86 and a Arduino Co-Processor that allows for easy GPIO programs.

Listen to Satan OP. Rpi is not made to be a desktop pc, but you can do a lot with it. Starting to learn Linux on it is not a really good idea.
