Alot of us who have a Raspberry Pi 3 or 4 might upgrade to the Raspberry Pi 5.

Doing so would leave us with 2 Pi’s. What are some great use cases for the older Pi, that would no longer be the main machine?

    I can’t speak for the OP, but in my case… It was very much a resounding YES!!! If your using Pis as general home servers, like I was, you can very quickly run into resource constraints. I wound up replacing 5 Pi 4’s with a pair of 4th gen Intel boxes and I’m still hit resource limitations from time to time. Though now it is more io related then ram or cpu.
