Why hasn't the Raspberry Pi had a larger impact on home computing?

@ajroach42 Because it's not packaged for home computing.

I love them, but they are best used by people who are going to tinker with them. That's the opposite of what home computing demands.

@thomnottom There's lots of room for tinkering in home computing, but I guess I take your point.

@ajroach42 I don't disagree. Would love to see more of that. But overall it's a small subset.

Where it could make a real impact is IoT. Start replacing all those single use easily cracked devices.
