what software is rpi only ? honest question

A bit niche, but one software I use for my Raspberry Pi powered 3d printer is camera-streamer: https://github.com/ayufan/camera-streamer

It provides a WebRTC stream for a USB camera (or Pi Camera, what I'm using). Rather than the old, inefficient, low-quality MJPEG stream. The software itself will run on anything, but the WebRTC only works on a Pi for now.

Almost everything can be modified or configured to run on another system, but it’s pretty common for RPi to be the default or best-tested platform.

Not sure if this is still the case but I thought you could get a free version of Wolfram Mathematica for RPI for free

  • Running Mathematica on underpowered hardware lead me to hate Macs for over a decade.

    I have concerns.
