All that said, I post this from a Pi4 8GB, it is sometimes really slow,
but I like and use the GPIO port.

FWIW, my *nix Desktops consist of cheap, refurbished, small form PCs,
stuffed with SSDs.

The STM GPIO interface typically provides a digital interface to my
electronic circuits. BSD RPis are used as intrinsic IDE hosts while
Blue and Black Pills are accessed via a STLink.
