I finally got my hands on a Canakit after waiting nearly two years for one due to the pandemic supply-line shortages. I had to return the first one back to Amazon due to a defective WiFi. The replacement one is working great without any noticeable issues. I'm using it to run pi-hole and as a server for the UniFi controller. I access it via SSH & XRDT, using putty &/or windows 10 remote desktop. Once resbian is installed & configured, mouse, keyboard, and monitor are not necessary. My next purchase will just be the board, a cheap case & power supply to save money because in my humble opinion the kit is a waste of money because some of those extras <cables > are unnecessary after the initial installation. Thus, the kit is an overkill. Recently, I experienced a corrupted microSD card & wasted time formatting & preparing the new microSD for a new image. I didn't know you could just insert the blank microSD & use network installation option instead. This method is so much easier vs manually downloading & creating a new resbian image, which is time consuming. Installing the UniFi controller on Raspberry Pi 4 was lengthy & a tedious process... it was so frustrating 😤. There are so many old & useless information on the web when you use Google on how to install the UniFi controller on Raspberry Pi 4. Some of those websites sent me to that proverbial rabbit hole. To avoid going to that rabbit hole like me... First, you must use the 64 bit version of the Rasbian OS because Ubiquity no longer supports the 32 bit version. Second, you'll see many useless websites still pushing obsolete info if you use Google for help, the website with the current info is..."PiMylife", hopefully Amazon will not block me for listing it. I'm new to linux. I'm learning useful new linux commands to efficiently operate this amazing little machine 😍. It runs quietly even with the fan running, somewhat a little warm & relatively nimble. This credit card sized PC is highly recommended!

This is crazy. This thing came with 3 heat sinks, a fan, a hard drive (albeit a microsd) preloaded with everything you could need, all the necessary wires, and even some extra stuff just because (a usb microsd reader). I put it together in minutes, had the software installed shortly thereafter, and was up and running in no time. I love Linux, but am used to Ubuntu - I know, I know its evil, corporate and lame, but I know that it works, so I use it, primarily the server edition. So I was thinking I needed to install Ubuntu on this, but once I fired up the terminal, all or most of the commands to install and setup, and navigate are virtually the same on Rasp Pi OS, if not exactly the same. The recommended Rasp Pi OS for install is really good, I was thinking I did not really need the desktop software, etc, but I actually really kind of like it! I configured the hardware during the build (which again, took only minutes) for the high performance fan installation, which is supposed to be noisy, but I don't hear anything at all. My plan is to use it as a linux server for the nginx/uwsgi/web applications I need to run. The extra usb microsd reader will allow me to expand the storage space, I just ordered a Silicon Power 256 gb microsd to mount it as extra drive(s). I ordered this CanaKit with the 32 gb Samsung NOOB microsd, but my recommendation for others would be to get the 128 or 256 gb version if its offered. Also, fyi the unit is pretty fast, not clunky at all. I was able to set up ssh into it from windows quickly. I probably will never buy another Windows desktop or laptop again, I have an older HP laptop that is perfectly fine that I upgraded with RAM and an SSD, so I can remote in to this Rasp Pi 4 machine to do what I need, super easy and love it so far!

I got into Raspberry Pi by buying this kit and currently have been running Home Assistant on it with absolutely no problem for the past month. I found that most of what is the kit is unnecessary for my use. I do not even need the case, power supply, or switch. The Raspberry works just fine 24x7 without them, even with a 2GB NVME attached as an external drive. I recommend taking a hard look at your use case and if it is for something like Home Assistant, you might consider saving a good bit of money and just going with the Pi itself.
