I'm not sure what kind of links you're looking for, but there are plenty of sites with the history of the Pi series available with a simple search.

    But over time other devices have caught up if not exceeded the Pi’s capabilities and it no longer stands out in any particular way.

    If this is true, it's great news to me, and I'd like you to show me where I can get a nice, cheap, well-supported single board computer.

    Nothing is cheap any more, not even (perhaps especially) the Raspberry Pi, but there are plenty of options out there with similar specs, sizes and prices. The Raspberry offerings are no longer unique as they were when it first released.

    Okay great. Please share examples.

    (If you don't respond or reply without examples, I'm not going to reply to it, but everyone reading this is gonna know that you're talking out of your ass.)

    Many people are going for Mini PCs now, which are obviously larger than the Pi, but can be found for similar prices and offer x86-64 rather than ARM as most SBCs do.

    Happy?

    Do you have a preference among these? Particularly for light-weight home servers and simple networked devices like a security camera?
