 ni> As your daily driver? 

No I don't use it as my daily driver, however I do like to play around with retro computing. Unfortunately I do not have much room to buy and have all the vintage computers I would like to play with, and there something that feels detached when just running an emulator on your PC. So I wanted to create something for my self with feels like running the old systems.
The Vice emulator that is running on the Raspberry Pi is the GTK version, this is only because I find it to run smoother than the SDL, however it simply runs in a very limited Blackbox window manager, and starts up in full screen.
When I do feel like visiting a C64 BBS, I do prefer booting up the Raspberry Pi and running ccgms within the emulator.
I know there are other projects like RetroPie, which I like to use for console emulation, but it does just feel like running a game launcher.
