At the risk of continuing this off-topic thread — the Zero 2 W is probably the sweet spot for value for the Pi right now, in terms of what you get for the price, and the utility of the device. (I'm setting one up as a PiSCSI emulator for my old Macs this week!)

Pi Connect doesn't work on the Zero 2 W though ;)

Do you know why that is? The Zero 2 W (and Pi 3) support the 64-bit verison of Raspberry Pi OS. Don't they also run Wayland? Not enough RAM?

EDIT: I should have taken a minute to check the Pi OS release notes:

> Desktop now runs on the Wayfire Wayland compositing window manager on Raspberry Pi 4 and 5 platforms; on X11 using the openbox window manager on older platforms

Yeah, I think it's just a resource thing, maybe on the GPU side.
