Raspberry Pi for brainlets

There are kits on Amazon with a pre-loaded OS. You could create a home server, plug in a storage volume, store all your porn on it. Play doom. Maybe wrap it in duct tape and massage your prostate with it. The limits are endless bro

But srsly they're just a computer that won't be as good as your main computer. Cheap enough to mess around with, but the usefulness is quite redundant.

you don't need to know how to program
just read https://www.raspberrypi.org/documentation/remote-access/ssh/ first and prepare the sdcard correctly if you want to use it headless

you can use it as a really shitty always-on homeserver

I know a couple of people who have used it to automate their homes. From heating to alarms and garage doors. Get creative. If something about your daily life pisses you off, get the Pi to do it for you.

I do that with my desktop computer.

I use an ODROID C2, more powerful than pi. What you can do? That is a whole different story.

What's your field? Do you want to do some programming or engineering stuff? SDR seems pretty good though, buy some dongle for it and ride the software defined radio wagon.

Maybe in your position it would be best used as a learning platform. It's cheap and easy to setup so you can just jump in and start seeing what you can make it do. Obviously youre going to get stuck but researching and working through it is how you learn. As you keep working you'll come up with more Ideas for what to make or new ideas on how to do something you've already done in a better way.

I'm putting mine into a rocket and using sensors to send back humidity, temperature, pressure, altitude, velocity and acceleration using Sense HAT.

want to tell us why?

I'm considering turning it into an environmental monitor and control device for the future snake I'm getting now that a handful of reptiles are legal to own.

Then they'll finally let me leave North Korea.

You figure out how to get a Raspberry Pi on a working rocket and they will hire you for their missile program
