The changes are too fast for me. My experience with ATX power supplies is, as long as one is not building the ultimate gaming machine, that the same supply works in PCs than span a time period of about 30 years. Even so, the weird 12VHPWR in the ATX 3.1 revision has me wondering. It seems standards are more used to ensure obsolescence these days rather than compatibility.That power supply "problem" has been the normal one with each evoluttion of RPi, no only changing the USB type of connector but requiring more current that the previous one, but it is fully justified if we want RPi to keep on evolving and improving. Let's see if the USB C type is the final one for the future RPIs (I bet that they will change again
I had the RPi 2, 3, 3B+, 4 , and now RPI 5 with 8GB. No need to say that RPI5 shocked me with its quick power up and power down times, as well as its fast response with aplications like Libreoffice and other heavy ones.
On the other side of the balance, its introduction was not fully aligned with his required libraries (mainly external) and took some time to catchup (i.e.: vnc) . Several of my previous python programs don´t work with RPI5's operating system and previous libraries , therefore I am having some fun dealing with the required changes.
