Needs a temporary bypass button instead.
But now, the pi 5 is now entering the price range where if you don't need the GPIO then an SBC would be a better option. And the added cost makes it harder to justify purchasing unless I have a planned project.
The Pi 4 8GB was decent enough as a Linux desktop for casual use when built with an SSD. The Pi 5 is 2x faster and should be a pretty good user experience with a lightweight desktop environment..
Their niche is really as an appliance, though. It's powerful enough to run apps 24x7 with little power consumption. Use Docker, k3s, or micro k8s and set up containers for various functions around the house. You could easily Home Assistant as your automation hub, have a NAS for backups or cloud sharing, run DNS filtering, etc.
If you want virtual machines, that's where the off-lease desktop minis, the newer mini pcs, and the nucs come to play.

I run it in a portainer, it brings my Reolink doorbell and Tapo cameras in to HomeKit and allows HKSV. Tapo cameras use the ONVIF plugin, Reolink has its own plugin but I've just been using the doorbell via ONVIF.
