What do you dislike about Raspbian?
When you run a lot of heavy programs at once, the perfomance slows down a little. For new users, the file manager and system setting could be more us

Need a tiny hardware with the small specification to build electronics things Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The program language isn't easy for a have coding experience. Just a take a little time to learn basic raspberry language. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
1. Includes all the core capabilities of a Linux OS.
2. Pretty smooth performance even on a low-config minicomputer like Raspberry Pi.
3. Easily supports the runtime environments needed to run the codes/programs.
4. To use Raspbian, you can install the system yourself on an SD card with the help of the downloadable RaspbianInstaller, or download a finished image and copy it to the desired SD card.
5. Excellent support
6. Very beginner-friendly
7. Raspberry Pi OS uses a modified LXDE as its desktop environment with the Openbox stacking window manager, along with a unique theme.
8. Raspberry Pi OS has 3 installation options: Raspberry Pi OS Lite, Raspberry Pi OS & Raspberry Pi OS Full.
9. If you need more computing power, you cluster with other Pis. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
1. The UI could have a more robust experience like Windows OS.
2. Limited software support from vendors.
3. Many times, issues are encountered when deploying software supported for generic Linux distros.
4. Delayed Software Updates.
5. Some applications which require high demands on CPU processing are off-limits.
6. Well, you can’t clip in any additional PCI-cards like on a PC, you can use USB-driven devices, though.
7. Vertical Scaling isn't Supported, if you need more RAM than the Pi3 has, just buy a Pi4 and replace the computer and you got it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
We have found using Raspbian an advantageous way to spin up new test environments. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
At times the configurations can be a little overly-complicated for the purpose. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
It integrates perfectly with the hardware that it was designed for, the Raspberry Pi board. All of the IO and features of the board are readily available. I am super excited about how it provides everything I need right there. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I do not like how some of the features are harder to use than others, and that sometimes having peripherals connected during a reboot will cause erratic behavior. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
It's easy to get, and it's free and powerful. Inside of it, you can get so many tools that can even help you learn to code by yourself. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
It is only compatible with raspberry, and you need this device to run it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
It's the easiest OS for the Raspberry PI. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
It may be daunting to new users that are not familiar with Linux. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I use it for gaming and as a web server, very efficient and effective and easy to use and make modifications. Multipurpose o.s. great and easy setup. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Great but not very powerful. Also it is like other Linux distros that got many flavors. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Lightweight
Easy to tinker with
Very useful while new to linux (thats the purpose of it)
Has out-of-box programs for children to begin learning IoT and python
Very useful and nifty for smarthome automation Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Few updates throughout the year
Support for 64bit architecture still in beta and not stable Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
It is pretty easy to get a get a raspberry pi set up and running with raspian. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Raspian is missing a lot of the default programs that you would find in a base ubuntu installation. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
It runs well, installs easily and has awesome community support. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I wish it came with some more up-to-date software out of the box. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
