Raspbian a Lite Weight Debian Linux Distro

Mahesh Palamuttath April 14, 2019

Hi, dears. Installing Debian and working on it may be difficult to some. as its installation is not much easier compared to Ubuntu. also It doesn't have any WiFi driver inbuilt. I too had to install a separate WiFi driver after installing Debian 9 stretch searching a lot. But Raspbian is a Debian-based computer operating system for Raspberry Pi. which comes with WiFi driver inbuilt There are several versions of Raspbian including Raspbian Stretch and Raspbian Jessie. Since 2015 it has been officially provided by the Raspberry Pi Foundation as the primary operating system for the family of Raspberry Pi single-board computers.^[1] Raspbian was created by Mike Thompson and Peter Green as an independent project.^[4] The initial build was completed in June 2012.^[5] The operating system is still under active development. Raspbian is highly optimized for the Raspberry Pi line's low-performance ARM CPUs.

Raspbian uses PIXEL, Pi Improved X-Window Environment, Lightweight as its main desktop environment as of the latest update. It is composed of a modified LXDE desktop environment and the Openbox stacking window manager with a new theme and few other changes. The distribution is shipped with a copy of computer algebra program Mathematica and a version of Minecraft called Minecraft Pi^[6] as well as a lightweight version of Chromium as of the latest version.^[7]

By default Raspbian comes with sudo privilege you don't needed to install sudo separately. You can change the default username "pi" and password "raspberry" into yours.
