Many things work fine on a r-pi v4, but many things do not. Try to do video editing - I dare you. ;)<br>
<br>
If all your desktop needs to support is web surfing and perhaps ssh from time to time, then a r-pi can do that, mostly. Also great for A/V playback. My mpd servers have never been happier. Scripting devel is probably fine, including running mariaDB or postgres.<br>
<br>
Things I would NOT run on a Rapberry Pi:<br>
NFS server<br>
DLNA/Plex server with transcoding<br>
Video editing<br>
Audio editing<br>
Compiling any languages<br>
Java - how can you have 32G of RAM and a 10th gen Core i7 on a rPi for java development?<br>
VM host<br>
Remote desktops<br>
VPN server<br>
<br>
I don't know how well/bad something like Ansible will work. It would probably be fine with the CLI interface.<br>
<br>
Of course, the $50 buy-in for a R-pi v4 including case and PSU means you can try all sorts of things with little risk. A r-pi v4 could always be re-deployed in the den for media playback. I use r-pi v2 and v3 for that. Works fine.<br>
