Raspbian
Raspbian is a Debian-based operating system for the Raspberry Pi.
It utilizes the following features:
- Stream videos in HD with hardware-accelerated MPEG-4 decoding.
- Play 3d video games with hardware-accelerated graphics rendering:
- Raspberry Pi 3
- The proprietary OpenGLES driver (better performance)
is installed byrpi-update, which installslibEGL.soandlibGLESv2.so. - The (experimental) open source OpenGL driver VC4
can be enabled usingraspi-config.
- The proprietary OpenGLES driver (better performance)
- Raspberry Pi 4
- The open source OpenGL driver V3D is enabled by default.
- Raspberry Pi 3
After Raspbian has been installed, I recommend having a look at
post_install_rasp.sh, which is found at the bottom of this page.

Connect a simple power button to pin 5 (GPIO 3) and pin 6 (GND). By pressing this button, the Raspberry Pi will wake up from halt state and boot. This script is used to shut down the Raspberry Pi by using the same button. https://howchoo.com/g/mwnlytk3zmm/how-to-add-a-power-button-to-your-raspberry-pi |
