What you can build with the Raspberry Pi 5 (2GB RAM)

• Home media centre and Pi-hole DNS filtering
• Home Assistant server for smart-home control
• Retro gaming console
• Classroom and first-Linux machine
• Light web and file server on the home network

Compatibility

Runs Raspberry Pi OS, Ubuntu and most Arm64 Linux distributions. Uses the standard 40-pin GPIO header, so most existing HATs still fit — but Pi 5 needs micro-HDMI cables and a 27W USB-C supply, not the Pi 4's accessories.
