Keep in mind moOde hasn't been ported to and tested on the RPi5B yet. Tim and his merry band are on it as we write. The updated version should be available by the time most folks have been able actually to put their hands on one. I "cheated" and got a 4GB model last fall by subscribing to the MagPi in order to get their early-access offer. Sparkfun just emailed me that the ordinary order I placed at the same time for an 8GB model probably will be fulfilled by the end of 1st quarter 2024. They claim to have nearly 10000 backorders for the 8GB model!
Any of the RPi4B models works very well with moOde with plenty of headroom/horsepower to spare.
Back in the day, I was running several SGI workstations in my lab along with a number of other Unix-based engineering workstations (DEC, Sun, IBM...) in support of work on CAD/CAM data exchange and what became the ISO STEP standard. We were tied into SGI servers in another lab which supported a VR cave we used from time to time. Good times.
My favorite SGI moment was when an cute IRIX 3-D file browser called fusion was used by "Lex" as she brought the park defenses back online in a dramatic scene in the original Jurassic Park movie. Her dialogue was priceless (especially for a tween) "This is a UNIX system. I know this." Nobody around me could figure out why I laughed out loud when tension was running so high.
