The only way I'll buy another raspberry pi is if they come with a power supply that's guaranteed to work with them. I got tired of the random reboots in the night and replaced my media center/NAS with an old Nuc.

Official power supply is sold separately. Pis work fine with unofficial USB-PD power supplies but will limit maximum current for USB devices. I have two Pi 5's and one 4 and they all are perfectly stable when powered with an old Lenovo laptop charger.

It's still a huge pain point. I keep a magic "correctly sized, but provides clean power" USB charger with my Pi in a drawer, because I know that, if I lose that charger, I'm buying a replacement. It's unclear to me why they're so borderline. Maybe USB-C would help?

		I don't know much about older models but on 4 and 5 they chose to use a weird power standard to reduce cost. Just buy the official charger. They're not expensive.
