I had a rpi 400 using twister os and the keyboard seemed faulty, ie different keys the same. reported by others when I searched. anyway I dug it out over the weekend and installed bookworm 64bit os and the keyboard works ok. Youtube playback is much better, over wifi. Just got to learn Linux  |

Depending on what you want to do , not that much Linux needed . I would also try : 32bit vs 64bit Bookworm Bullseye OS Fyde OS Different browsers ( Chromium , Firefox , Falkon , et . al . ) The beauty of the RPi is the ease of tweeking . my site |

The beauty of the RPi is the ease of tweeking . not easy now to edit config.txt. have rpi 1,2,3,400. this didn't work / fill screen .no hdmi sound on first tv but fine on another. impressed with youtube play back over wi-fi. no dropped frames. vlc video playback from usb fine. big difference to twister os |

I don't know if it's still true, but at one time I seem to remember seeing that only Raspberry Pi's own OS could use the GPU's hardware acceleration. That gave it a clear lead on graphic-intensive stuff. Mick Zilog Inside! nascom.info for Nascom & Gemini Preliminary MMBasic docs & my PCB designs |

I don't know much about this but coincidentally, I was just looking at Raylib which appears to be supported by SmallBASIC which is cross-platform. |

I dunno. I have a couple of Pi thingies hanging about but they haven't even been switched on in the last year. The most recent is a 3B that someone gave me. TBH I would only use the Pi OS anyway as I need all the current documentation I can get nowadays. lol Mick Zilog Inside! nascom.info for Nascom & Gemini Preliminary MMBasic docs & my PCB designs |

Pi os does seem to work best overall . The latest uses Wayland ( ?? ) which messes up some of my use .... ( So I use Bullseye for those ) With os ' s on thumb drives it ' s an easy switch . my site |

I always used sudo raspi-config from when I first discovered it. It's definitely the easiest way to set things up. :) I'm a nano fan too, but only when it's needed. :) Mick Zilog Inside! nascom.info for Nascom & Gemini Preliminary MMBasic docs & my PCB designs |

Thanks. It's been in a box for years. I forgot how it's setup. editing config-txt which it says is in config.sys do not alter. Read the sd card or hdd in windows pc and edit it in notepad and save.Hdmi was not correct on first tv with no sound but another tv worked with the same settings. Dunno why keyboard gave false keys, several keys gave "3" using Twister OS, it was ok for a year. No problems with Radpian.. so far. |
