Where Do I start with Raspberry Pi

[DKong]

I want to get into Raspberry Pi but I have no idea where to start how to learn. I am looking for beginners projects videos that are step by step. But if you have something else that could help let me know.

There's youtube videos, guides on other sites, rpi communities etc. really depends on what you want to do, but if you're only used to windows it may be a somewhat difficult start.

A Raspberry Pi is just a just a low power pc and the Pi OS is based on Linux pretty much anything you can do with a pc is fair game. I have a PI 5 that I run pihole on for ad/malware blocking. I also run Unbound on it as my own DNS.

This is a pretty general question. It depends on what you want to do with it. You can use it for robotics. You can use it as an everyday computer or for server/s, although I prefer in both cases to have a small form factor computer with low power X86-64 CPU, because it has better software compatibility than ARM. You can create a router. You can try to create a cluster computer if you have another one. You can use it as an alternative to Android TV. You can do a lot of stuff.

if you want to get into programming for hardware, start with arduino products, so much cheaper and can do as much for simple programming, and give alot of practice with c++

It probably helps to have some kind of a goal with what you want to do with one.

I love using those for python programs.
Retropie was also one of my first in-depth experiences with Linux.
I think the best place to start with PI is to dive right in.
It's fun and friendly and pretty low risk. You can always flash a new OS in a few seconds.

I'm like on the same boat. Wanna get a Raspberry Pi so I can run Klipper on my 3D Printer, but the amount of programming have me confused and makes me want to stay away.

Yeah Klipper is a little on the steep on the learning curve.
I have Octoprint running on mine and it's great.

I think the best way to start is install Raspberry OS and start learning / get use to Linux environment (both desktop and command line).

Once you've gotten the hang of Linux you can look here for a little inspiration

Some of the stuff I use Raspberry Pi for (for further inspiration):

• Octoprint server to control my 3D Printer.
  
• Media Center.
  
• RetroPie / Steam Link to play retro game and stream my Steam client.
  
• Docker server. I'm currently learning to use Docker for various containerized services (mostly game servers and my homemade containers). I hope in the furture I can expand to a Docker Swarm.
  
• Pi-Hole ad blocker

You want this touch screen on Newegg for it by far the best ♥♥♥♥ I ever seen to use RP.

I seen people use this tech to monitor there AIO coolers, music instruments, and I seen people running images on this ♥♥♥♥.

Raspberry is also easy to learn...
