Raspberry Pi is planning a London IPO, but its CEO expects “no change” in focus
Eben Upton says hobbyists remain "incredibly important" while he's involved.
The business arm of Raspberry Pi is preparing to make an initial public offering (IPO) in London. CEO Eben Upton tells Ars that should the IPO happen, it will let Raspberry Pi's not-for-profit side expand by "at least a factor of 2X." And while it's "an understandable thing" that Raspberry Pi enthusiasts could be concerned, "while I'm involved in running the thing, I don't expect people to see any change in how we do things."

Time to stock up on pi 5's
There are alternatives that don’t involve giving them your $$
Genuine question: what alternative would you recommend? I was planning on buying a few for various projects next month with my next paycheck but now I’m not too keen on funding them.
Two that I can think of are the BananaPi and OrangePi. Google “raspberry pi alternatives” and I’m sure you’ll find much more.
My local Pinkberry uses orange pi as their POS computer.
Any alternatives that aren’t Chinese?
Or get any of the hundreds of other SBCs on the market.
No point adding to their sales figures to make the IPO more successful.
