Time to dump the Raspberry Pi ? No – but time to dump the Pinephone?

Rob Braxman says it is time to dump the Raspberry Pi:

We won’t dump the Raspberry Pi, and we do not know if it is time to dump the Ponephone either. But we won’t dump the Raspberry Pi until until Raspberry Pi goes bankrupt and the stock of Raspberry Pi’s on eBay is sold out. And that is because of for instance the Raspberry Pi OS which has been developed over the last 10 years and many issues where resolved:

As well as because of many other OS which can be installed on the Rasperry Pi’s which allow to install a lot of software which cannot easily be installed for instance on the Pinephone. And only if Raspberry Pi goes bankrupt and the stock of Raspberry Pi’s on eBay is sold out, we will buy Organge Pi’s. But also only then when the Raspberry Pi community migrates to the Orange Pi community and makes Orange Pi’s it more usable.
