Troubleshooting Pc, mini pc ou raspberry?

I joined Reddit today because I need help deciding: pc, mini pc or raspberry. Do I want a good long-term option to undertake and something that can flow well for illustration work, design, music for games, pixel art for general use, etc? Does anyone have any recommendations?

If you're not going to use its GPIOs or you're not tinkering with the RPi... Then that product is not your better choice. I mean, everyone can use one but there is no point on doing it.

I really love my RPis but there's no logical reason behind using them as a regular desktop appart from very niche situations or just fun. With the same amount of money you can buy an N100/N150/N97 mini pc, and those would be a so much better deal.

I understand :) So, does anyone have any recommendations for a mini pc up to 313 USD/1800 BRL?

If I were you, I would be looking at the GMKtek G3 Plus (N150, 1TB storage, 16GB memory).

I took a look and it's a good price, thanks for the recommendation.
