I think it is to run GAD World Headquarters:
Specifically to support MiniGAD?

I use my Raspberry Pi to play Frozen Bubble since I no longer have a proper Linux box. It seems noticeably pokey compared to an i7 equipped laptop with a solid state drive, but it's probably 1000x more computer than the first Linux box I built with a 486 processor and 1M ram. That machine would not comfortably run X Window, so I was stuck with command line only. It probably took me three days to install RedHat Linux from floppy disks. That's why I could never do IT for a living. Waiting around for software to finish installing...
You win the Internet for not writing X Windows.

Also regarding "waiting":
In grad school, for my doctoral dissertation, I had composed a Symphony for concert band. I was using an early incarnation of Finale, a music notation program, on a Mac Classic. My printer was a simple laser printer (for ‘92). In order to print the score, it took 8+ hours. I basically set it going and went to bed, hoping nothing crashed overnight. (And, since I needed the score to be 17”x11”, each page had to be tiled on 8-1/2”x11” paper.)Love it! Years and years ago when I taught a few college courses on COBOL, the students would go crazy waiting for compiles. I said "do some other homework...".
