I don't have one yet, but I'm thinking of getting one to use as a media server for my TV. I also love the concept of having a computer with General purpose I/O pins on them, so I could mess around with random electronics projects if I ever think of doing something random with them.

Just some notes.
If you can, try RPi and other media players. I have RPi 3B and it sucks with Full HD video (depends of codec). At the same time my 10 years old ASUS O!Play HDP-R1 media player is still good at Full HD content!
And keep in mind that GPIO uses 3.3V level (instead of 5V at Arduino) ^_^''

Currently I use mine as a print server for my 3D printer, it runs octoprint. How would you describe resolution and viewing angels? I want to try a screen next.

If you have a RPi, with a little work you can set up your own RetroPie to make your own mini retro gaming station. I have one, it's super cute and fun!

I use a ZumSpot hat on top of an RPi0WH as a 70cm band amateur radio digital hotspot in the System Fusion digital modulation mode. RF output is up to 10 milliwatts, but I have it turned down to 5 (3dB less than maximum) so it doesn't wipe out the whole of the 70cm band for my base rig antenna with phase noise whenever it transmits. It covers about 2 blocks radius transmission range with its teeny 5mw to a handheld radio using its teeny tiny whip antenna. Might upgrade that part though.

PIs are SO awesome!

Just set up my old 3B with LibreELKEC some days ago and after a lot of headaches, it's running perfectly!
Even Netflix with 720p is on the board (makes no difference on our rather small TV screen).
