Raspberry Pi Project Developers May distribution update (Raspbian), based on the Debian 10 "Buster" package base. Three assemblies have been prepared for download - an abbreviated one () for server systems, with desktop () and full with an additional set of applications (2.5 GB). The distribution comes with a user environment (an offshoot of LXDE). To install from about 35 thousand packages are available.
Π :
- Distribution renamed from Raspbian to Raspberry Pi OS;
- experimental 64-bit build to use all available board variant memory , shipped with 8 GB of RAM;
- Added Bookshelf app that provides access to magazines and books printed by Raspberry Pi Press (you can buy paper versions from the app or download PDF for free);
- To facilitate the work of visually impaired people, an application is included to enlarge certain areas on the screen. The application was created from scratch, as the developers were not satisfied with the existing implementations. The program can be installed by selecting Magnifier in the Universal Access section of the Recommended Applications application. To call, you can use the Ctrl-Alt-M combination or the icon on the right side of the taskbar. In the properties, you can select the shape and size of the magnifying glass, as well as the zoom level.
- The representation of sound output devices in the ALSA subsystem has been changed. Instead of one common device for HDMI and a headphone jack, two different devices are now offered. The default is HDMI output. To change the active sound output device, you can use the volume control applet or explicitly define the device in the .asoundrc file (for the headphone jack, write "defaults.pcm.card 1" and "defaults.ctl.card 1").
