    I’ve been hearing about this on a regular basis but between scalpers and damn things going to industry users we are left with exactly nothing, pumping up the price to unreasonable levels. Just get one of the compatible boards which have better hardware and plentiful supply.

      The problem with alternatives are:

      • RPi HATS don’t work;
      • RPi cases don’t work;
      • RPi hardware like screens don’t work;
      • RPi software doesn’t always work;
      • Existing RPi tutorials and guides are not compatible;
      • User made 3D printed stuff for RPi is also not compatible.

      Raspberry Pi has a huge and diverse ecosystem. We’re stuck with it.
