    Well yeah of course you can. The pi 400 is even an official computer kit turning it into a homecomputer akin to a commdore 64/amiga 500/acorn/bbc micro etc.

      That’s a poor analogy given that the Pi 5 & Pi 400 are incomparably more powerful than 1980s home computers, and I don’t think OP was asking if a Pi 5 can run WordPerfect or VisiCalc.

        Did you really think they were comparing the pi’s capabilities with a commodore…? It was obvious that they were comparing the form factor.

        Okay, I wanted to say that the computer would be integrated just like the computers I mentioned.

      Forgive me but the Pi is an order Of magnitude better than the dinosaurs you mention.

        NO WAY. Sorry I didn’t realise how a

        64-Bit CPU with a clockspeed of 1.8 Gigahertz with RAM of up to 8 Gigabytes, USB connectivity, HDMI outs, Wifi and other shit

        could EVER be superior to a (respective to an Amiga 500)

        16-Bit computer with a speed of 7.16 MEGAhertz with 512 KILOBYTES of RAM

        You REALLY opened my eyes.

        (sorry for being overly sarcastic)
