Hardware replacement, Raspberry Pi or a used PC?
Let's say, one is in need of a replacement of its PC (something went horribly wrong with it, exploded or something), would it be more "permacomputable" to replace it with a new Raspberry Pi (as a daily driver of course), or a used PC?

I’ve been down this road myself. The newer pi’s seem like they could handle being a daily driver depending on your resource needs (mine are small). I bet you could even acquire one used at this point. I ended up going with a laptop being discarded by the local school system. My plan is to use it til I can’t, then I’ll probably work on a pi battle station. There are some great videos out there of people using the pi as a daily use pc, with success. Still I suppose it depends on your needs.
