trash if you don't have a very specific plan for it already.
trash even if you have a specific plan for it, buy somethin gbetter
You'll boot it up, play around with the command line for about 15 minutes, then set it aside to permanently gather dust.
Like? I want something cheap.
>I want something cheap.
For what purpose?
Use it to build a Skywire node (Skycoin miner)
Mostly file storage. Maybe streaming media locally, definitely try the Pi-Hole meme.
It's a standard SBC that is not very open (documentation for the main chip is not always available and is not complete or clear, no open source drivers for GPU). But on the plus side there's lots of user documentation and it's commercial friendly in that if you want to base a commercial product on it, you can order large quantities.
Pi-Hole meme is retarded because you can set up DNS directly on your computer to do all of that. As for file storage, media streaming, etc., running off SD card is not ideal, and attaching external USB storage to your Raspberry Pi will be too slow, so Raspberry Pi really isn't the best option. However, for other use cases it is a good choice.
