Hi,
The Raspberry Pi is a single board computer. It is one of the class of
such machines, there are many others. I'm not sure of any site which
specifically focusses on the machines as a whole, though Liliputing
https://liliputing.com/
and CNX
https://www.cnx-software.com/
come close. What I do is to consider what I want to do and then select a
machine for it. Again, the machines aren't ends in themselves, they just help
do different things in a better way.

board
