From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I am thinking about hosting my own Mastodon server from home on a Raspberry Pi (Pi4 8GB)?

Are there good tutorials out there?
What's the annual cost just to host yourself?

Come on, it's a raspberry pi not an iphone. Those things are for tinkerers who live by "if it ain't broke, fix it till it is".

It's for tinkerers yes but the RPi is popular because they try to facilitate the tinkering process. That means a lot of people will buy it in order to learn. That's precisely why they sell the RPi400 and RPi with introductory books.

It's not the same audience that'll by a RPi5 without a case or compute modules.
