Finally, a pi good for 4K video! (Apparently Raspberry Pi 4 could as well, but I am assuming this is an improvement. I still have a couple of Raspberry Pi 3's.)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I don’t know about lately, but 4k on Pi 4 was always janky.
Am I correct in saying this Pi5 will be the best chance at a very performant desktop PC? That seems very much where they were headed with all these designs.
AFAIK that's one of the goals of the ARM (and maybe eventually RISC-V) architecture. It's doing well on mobile and the low consumption is needed for a future that will require less energy. Or at least, do more with less. Having ARM desktops would also merge the mobile and the desktop environments.
Apple has moved to this architecture, and software wise, Linux is very compatible too. Even Microsoft knows and is trying (clumsily) to move to ARM.
The Pi5 will indeed open new possibilities on that front.
For performance you probably want something like a Orange Pi 5, in most workloads its significantly faster and uses less power doing so. But is also 20$ more expensive and probably doesn't have the community support around it.
Cool, I'll check it out, thanks!
We will see if this one is actually available, I mean I would definitely like one but not for 100€+ because scalpers got theie hands on the entire supply!
Goddamn it, just after I bought a Beelink mini PC a couple weeks ago.
A mini PC is the way to go if you want to self host a media server such as Jellyfin. You have to do a little research, but you can find mini PCs with Intel chips that have Quick Sync for transcoding for around $100 on Amazon.
"we notice everyone is having trouble getting our previous model due to scalpers, so we released a new version at double the price!"

Does anyone know if the R5 will fit in the Raspberry Pi 400 keyboard case?

Great! Now we just need an announcement about the successor to the RP2040...
esp32 has entered the chat
Custom IO is where the RP2040 shines. There aren't many like it.
There are rp2040 bits in the new RP1 custom silicon southbridge thing.
Why do you want a successor?
I want more cores and more importantly, more ADC pins. Also, being able to use more PIOs simultaneously would be fantastic.
Furthermore I want one of those matrix modules aka "AI accelerators" to play with 😁
How do the matrix modules work?
As far as I know, black magic 🤷
