To be honest although I like the raspberry pi hardware (and would recommend it in comparison with some of the other boards) I&#x27;m not particularly a fan of the foundation also.<p>The reason being that they can&#x27;t handle any form of constructive criticism very well. I dare you to make a comment about the USB design, open hardware vs blob thing, I will bring the popcorn. They have an extremely negative stance against competitors products which I don&#x27;t understand. If it is real about the children and education I don&#x27;t see how &quot;competing&quot; products that drives the prices down, are something bad in that regards. For me it is a healthy thing.<p>Personally since the beginning I&#x27;ve had a very negative vibe due to how to they communicate on their blogs, in comments, deal with people who have different opinions,... . I&#x27;m not one bit surprised that in the communications with the lakka dev(s) they made the impression of being unfriendly. You really don&#x27;t have to be in direct communications with them to get that impression.<p>But they have the advantage of having a good product which in the end is maybe the most important thing. They make darn good inexpensive hardware.
