@doshea Your definition of plenty is vastly different from mine, it appears. Simply no - source code is not for 'power users' as this site is intended. If you're compiling your from source, you have moved past 'power user'. If a power user does compiling, they probably don't know it - their installer probably came with some source, it does a make or whatever in the background. The user isn't doing the compile - the user is doing the install which happens to have some compile tasks. Compilers are not end user programs.
@Sathya But that's still about software development making it off topic. Just because it's not about the programming of it specifically doesn't mean it's not about software development. If all software development was just the programming of it, the help center would say "not about programming" instead of "not about programming or software development".
@Sathya Oh. But since the very first line in the "and it's not about" is software development, and we both agree compilers are software development, then the logical conclusion is that compiler usage is off topic here. Unless I'm missing something?
@Sathya How is the use of a compiler not about software development? What else are you doing with a compiler other than software development? It's not like it's really a multi-purpose tool...
Three years later, it looks like rasppi is doing just fine, and given the new guidelines for graduation that you'll probably be getting a new layout and better advertising soon. =)
How is an objective analysis of the pros and cons of a decision opinion based? I'm not saying these questions are good, but I do not think they are opinion based.
@fredley Michale has given us a target dummy to hit with downvotes so we can feel good about supporting hats. Everyone knows that self-esteem is a zero sum game: you can only gain it by stealing it from someone else. Michael has graciously offered his to us. Folks, prepare your downvotes!
