So SBCs are shit now? Anything I can do with my collection of Pis and old routers? (lemux.minnix.dev)

I dunno when it happened but I swear SBCs were the new best thing in the universe for a while and everyone was building cool little servers with their RockPis and OrangePis.

Now it's all gone x86 and Proxmox with everyone shitting on Arm. What happened? What gives?

Is my small army of xPis pointless? What about my 2 Edge routers?

I've got about 6 xPis scattered round my flat - is there anything worth doing with them or should I just bin them?

All thoughts, feelings and information welcome. Thank you.

The price of pi’s skyrocketed and made second hand mini PCs be a lot more cost effective for home labs and servers. May as well get the performance for the dollar and be able to run VMs.
