As an individual, I really enjoy using Raspbian because it's so efficient. I use it to do software development, automate tasks, and even run Docker containers. Everything from integrating with Linux commands to working with GPIO devices becomes very easy, along with working with any other free/open-source software. The installation and usage are quite simple, and being free is of great benefit. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The only minor drawback I've encountered is occasional software compatibility limitations with certain ARM-based applications, but it rarely impacts my day-to-day workflow. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like how unbloated the OS itself is, and how easy it is to use, from installing it all the way to using it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I don't like the fact that it's made specifically for Raspberry Pi. It would be nicer if it was promoted to be used on regular machines other than Pis Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Honestly, the ease with which you can configure the various options available on the motherboard running this operating system greatly reduces setup time. It is very user-friendly and easy to interact with and make changes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Let's say that my dissatisfaction with the point I am about to mention is NOT so much dissatisfaction, but it could be interesting and useful for those of us who already know and use it in equipment, to be able to have the same distribution but adapted to one or two other motherboard options that exist on the market and are intended for embedded development.

Raspbian is great because of the cost of the hardware and the size of the hardware. I am able to use it in one off instances and it works great. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Learning curve. Coming from a windows background it took a little to get used to the Unix OS. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

On older Raspberry Pi models, it can feel a bit sluggish, particularly when you’re running the full desktop environment. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Raspbian is light, stable and even works well on older raspberyy pi models.

I like that its based on debian and is great for learning how to code or work on IOT projects and also debian makes it easy to use most linux packages and commands. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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 user friendly.

A lot of time, you have to use terminal commands which can be hard for new users to understand. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I appreciate its optimized support for Raspberry Pi hardware. I have built many projects and games using it, and I find the interface easy to use and very user-friendly. I use it almost daily. From website can get support to relate packages and different versions. Raspbian tool make it easy to implement the OS on hardware, and this can in integrated easily.

limited performance for some python libraries. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I'm a Linux user and I like to have control over the systems. The added flexibility is surely a plus. It allows to lower costs of infrastructure, and it can integrate well with the rest of the systems. It's practical, simple to use and cheap option. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Not something I don't like, more like it's not designed for maybe. It's intensive tasks. For general purpose, It does very well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
