Hi,

First post. I’ve been looking but can’t really find an answer. What is the difference between a Pineapple and Raspberry pi, and if similar which is better to get?

Pretty sure a Pineapple has completely different usage to a Raspberry Pi:
A pineapple is a:

WIRELESS AUDITING PLATFORM
Command the WiFi landscape and direct attacks from a live recon dashboard, passively monitoring all devices in the vicinity.

- Target
Limit the audit to specified clients and access points within the scope of engagement and ensure zero collateral damage.

- Intercept
Acquire clients with a comprehensive suite of WiFi man-in-the-middle tools specializing in targeted asset collection.

- Report
Record and analyze logs, generate emailed reports at set intervals, and identify vulnerable devices in your organization.

Whereas a Raspberry Pi is:

A small and affordable computer that you can use to learn programming

A wireless auditing platform would be used for monitoring networks, could be used for data analysis, interception, optimization etc., a RPi would be used moreso generally than the Pineapple, it could be, with extension, used as a makeshift Pineapple device; however it's more tended towards programming, home automation, commercial products and so forth.

wasnt the pineapple pwned on day one of its official release
did they ever issue a fix for that, i know hak5 usually never does anything in regards to maintenance

They pushed a fix during Defcon

pineapples are more for WiFi based attacks like rogue ap. raspberry pi's are more general purpose. I have a raspberry pi and use it for hacking all the time. it works great and is really flexible

I believe his question was to compare option 1- RaspberryPi+kali+Wireless USB Adapter against option 2- Pineapple

I'm not the best person to answer but from what I gathered the option 1 seems better simply because it has more uses and will be upgraded more often in the future

But if you want an out-of-the-box easy solution Pineapple is that solution (for now)
