I think assuming a 5 is just a faster Pi 4 is natural for anyone not an engineer knowledgeable about the RP1 and Raspberry Pi models.Why? plenty of use cases for Pi5, I use it as a Desktop PC, much better than the Pi4.I can't be the only person considering bricking this Pi 5 and ordering a 4?
$6 USB sound dongle worked out of box.
Plus it can run LLMs, not fast but at nearly useful speed.
Everyone uses Lidar and Bluedot?
Anyone who paid attention to the RP1 chip on the PCB would have had a clue that this was going to have different GPIO etc methods.
The lack of decent documentation on the RP1 is slowing down code porting?
On the webpage
https://www.raspberrypi.com/products/raspberry-pi-5/...we’ve redefined the Raspberry Pi experience.
without explaining existing GPIO tutorials may not work on the new hardware.
As with most everything computers, people have very different ideas what everything means. For some a Pi is a desktop replacement that can be used for browsing the web; for others a Pi is like a super smart microcontroller.
According to the dog developer trying to make an everything anything is the same idea that led to a F35 joint strike fighter that is about as air worthy as a Spanish Galleon.

From what I can tell an N100 mini PC makes a better desktop compared to a Pi 5 at similar cost, while the Pi 4 is better for physical computing. Like the person above, I expect this to change over time as more tutorials are adapted to the Pi 5.
