Raspbian is most helpful in IoT projects where the use cases are limited but need high performance. Raspbian solves it when installed on its complimentary compact Raspberry Pi. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

One of the critical disadvantages is that the OS's user interface, which is based on Linux, is complex for beginners and students who might be critical users of Raspbian. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Raspbian can be easily installed on Windows, and we can easily code and decode our codes in this, as it is the cheapest in the world. Almost everyone prefers to have Raspbian on laptops or computers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

In Raspbian, we don't have an internet explorer called Chrome. Sometimes we need a VPN to work on Raspbian, which makes me feel unsafe and insecure at times. Also, it works on 32-bit rather than 64-bit. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Its simple, powerful and fully hardware compatible linux distribution, with specific features designed to interface directly with hardware level IO's, and supports wide range of useful packages. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Beta versions tend to be bit unstable and any abrupt process crash / package incompatibility might lead to irreversible OS corruption. The device may not boot and lose data permanently. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It is very stable. The OS Raspberry Pi SBCs are tailored for, and you can see it on the standard functionality out of the box. Recommend this OS if you are tinkering with it for the first time or if you are not entirely sure of how things in an SBC work. The system has most tools needed to control the onboard peripherals like the GPIO and comes bundled with all the basic stuff needed to make a computer run like one.

It takes up a lot of RAM on devices that already don't have much RAM, which can be a deal-breaker for people trying to implement something more sophisticated on it. It also has the problem that it might not work well with all scientific and robotic community tools well, so people should consider trying other more advanced and streamlined distros out there.

More than just an OS, it offers over 35000 packages of pre-compiled software. Most recommended OS for Raspberry Pi. Everything is simplified, and we can configure Pi without prior knowledge, like controlling GPIO and building various projects in Pi. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I don't dislike much. One of the reasons I wouldn't say I like it is the high consumption of ram; it's hard to run it on a 1GB system. Sometimes the Pi crashes (Rarely) and fails to boot Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It's very easy to use and great entry point even for non-linux users. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Power consumption for external drives makes it hang on media streaming/media server. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Raspbian provides anything that you could really need with an OS for embedded systems! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Raspbian can be difficult to modify or observe without the UI, so this can make using it difficult in areas without power/wifi. Other than that, it is just not widely applicable outside of use with a Raspberry Pi. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Light HW requirements and low cost and low cost to run from power standpoint Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Sometimes it can be tedious to fine tune the interface settings Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It is in native form one of the easiest and most documented OS for RPi. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Actually, as a Linux engineer, there is nothing to dislike. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

After initial configuration of the OS which was as simple as could be, It's required basically zero administrative time and has caused zero downtime. It has been in place for almost 6 months without more than a weekly reboot in the way of administration. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Nothing. It's simple and so far it's been flawless. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
