What a weird assumption. The Raspberry Pi was originally conceived as a spiritual successor of the BBC Micro, a tool to teach computer literacy to children. That's why it's made by a non-profit foundation and why they go so hard on having good documentation and showcasing projects and whatnot. That's also how it became such a success and almost a "standard," setting it apart from being just another random single-board computer.
I guess it's an indictment of how far the Raspberry Pi Foundation has strayed from its purpose that it's possible for people to be aware of Raspberry Pi but unaware of that history.
(By the way: ever wonder why they picked ARM for the CPU? At least in part, it's because it's British: "ARM" originally stood for "Acorn RISC Machine.")

I really have no excuse, I donโt live far from Cambridge and I guess Iโve just only ever seen Raspberry Pi content from American YouTubers like Jeff Geerling.
Since Maplin died Iโm not aware of any tech stores I would go to when in search of something like a Pi or Arduino.
Iโve got an old Atom mini PC which Iโm planning to install HomeAssistant on, but once thatโs operational Iโll get some Pi bits and look into web hosting, email, NAS and voice assistant options.
@manualoverride @grue the raspberry pi flagship store is in the Grand Arcade
Now youโve done it! Just got clearance from the finance director to plan a day in Cambridge for some punting and Pi.
wahey! Don't fall in!
If you're going to have a PC running Home Assistant full-time it might be worth looking into something like ProxMox which let's you run multiple virtual machines on commodity devices, even something as simple as an Atom USFF PC. That way you can do all your self-hosting on a single, dinky box
