My favorite thing about Raspbian (Raspberry Pi OS) is how light and optimized it is for the Raspberry Pi hardware. It runs smoothly even on older versions, and the interface is simple and clean, making it easy for new users and experienced users alike to navigate. The huge user base is a definite boon, too — if I ever encounter issues, I can usually find a tutorial or forum thread that contains the answer. I also like just how simple it is to install software with APT and just how smoothly GPIO and other Pi-specific features play together. It's also very easy to implement and integrate, even when you are constantly using it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The sole downside to Raspbian is that, aesthetically, it looks a bit dated compared to the interfaces of newer OS'. It's a bit rough around the edges, and more resource-hungry applications will occasionally lag, especially on older Pi iterations. Also, while the community is great, official customer support isn't really a thing — you're relying on forums and community help for the most part. Advanced users might find some limitations if they try to push the Pi beyond typical use cases. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The reliance on microSD cards for storage can result in slower boot times and read/write speeds compared to systems with internal eMMC storage. This can hinder overall performance and responsiveness, particularly when launching applications. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It is very configurable and supports many interfaces to connect custom hardware. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It is hard to run docker images on it, it is only what bothers me. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Raspbian is a lightweight and powerful operating system that specially made for raspberry pi boards. It have all basic tools to start the IoT journey with your raspberry pi. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

To make a raspbian as lightweight operating system, they removed some useful commands/applications from the raspbian. However we can install it with simple command. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Great compact OR fro a Raspberry Pi (rPi). Can be setup with or without a starter pack of useful apps. Very user friendly for those not acustomed to Linux interfaces. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Can be a slight pain to deploy to a Raspberry Pi at times for initial setup of the wireless connectivity and base login as well as SSH access. Not horrible, but not intuitiuve for first time users. From a hardware perspective - availablility has really been hurting the brand due to resellers scalping the equipment at fairly extreme prices, forcing clients to look to other solutions.

it is easy to get started with whether using a GUI or command line, it comes with all the familiar tools so it's easy to integrate or build your own solution on top of. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It seems silly, but Raspbian is sometimes overkill for some solutions on a Raspberry Pi. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

With raspberry we can do any project with ease.I used this during my post graduation project and since then I know there is nothing better than this Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There are actually no downside to this product just few like you have to learn some computer languages to get most out of it Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Works well, based on debian. Well tested, robust. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Occasionally out of date, but you can upgrade to unstable or testing Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I love that there are multiple options to play with. If you prefer a GUI, they have that. If you're a terminal master, you can have. Best of all, the lite version is perfect for running low-energy, headless, easy-to-manager units that can be anything you want. From a Media Server to a Smart Home Hub.

There isn't much that I dislike about Rasbian. It would be nice to have more out-of-the-box graphic customizations for those using it as a desktop. But given its intended purpose, I think it's great the way it is. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It is one of the best versions of Debian, displaying a full functionality with apps, stability, constants updates, community support and lovers around. Pretty easy to use and cool GUI. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Nothing to dislike. The system is pretty good as well as if compared to Ubuntu. Technical and non-technical people should love it at the first sight. Nothing bad to say about it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
