It’s still a lame linux, but they’ve mostly got pulseaudio working(!) after 20 years of it being not functional, wifi mostly stays up, the desktop environment isn’t awful. I’ve grown accustomed to Raspberry Pi OS (née raspbian). Literally the best thing since the Atari 800 (and that cost $899 in 1980, $2,869.53 in 2021’s inflated currency this is 28x cheaper!). It is so nice to have a really usable little computer in a keyboard again. Aesthetics are fine, I’d prefer black to white, but the raspberry red highlights are pleasing. Mouse is nice enough it’s not a hi-DPI gaming mouse, but it’s a good workstation mouse. I switch over here to my Magic Keyboard, and it’s night and day in quality. I’m moderately unpleased with the keyboard touch, but it’s definitely usable. The key travel’s bad, like the lawsuit butterfly keyboard. Keyboard is almost precisely the size & layout of the Apple Magic Keyboard, which is fine with me. Author mdhughes Posted on Categories computers, Linux, raspi Tags computers, Linux, RasPi Raspberry Pi 400 Setup But if you do run Linux, Raspbian’s acceptable since it only has one hardware profile to support. Now the next step will be to reuse my old micro-SD card for an alternate OS, so I’m not running Linux. Very importantly, keep your files as much as possible on a USB drive, not the internal SD card, you don’t want to thrash the OS card any more than you have to. Uh, when adding things to the Main Menu, make sure they’re marked executable (chmod 755 whatever).Īnd reminder, MagPi magazine is good content, you just have to persistently demand “free PDF”, nobody wants dead trees! It does tend towards the very noob, classic WIRED magazine color/font assault on your senses, and they think IDEs are a good idea on a tiny computer. I had a weird crash with Twitch, but I’ve had that before on reboot I was able to watch Twitch with no problems, but I’ll keep an eye on that. Python is 3.9.2, which meh, fine I’ve mostly updated my desktop to 3.10, but old ports require 3.9 still. Since it’s 64-bit now, I should be able to install Chez Scheme from Debian! But ambitious plans later. I can run my Scheme scripts in Gauche like it was just a minute ago. So I run thru my 400 setup routine again, and with minor changes it’s still current.Įverything seems to work. But it writes the micro-SD card correctly I didn’t have to reformat it myself like last time. Don’t bother configuring the installer beyond choosing “Other Raspbian” and “64-bit base”, it ignores your settings, you’ll have to configure the device after booting stock. ![]() Alas, poor Ian.īack up your user files (only). Raspbian 64-bit – other than the SEO post title, I will never call it anything but “Raspbian”.
