Raspberry Pi OS Bookworm. Big Update including Wayland!

how to show vnc on the panel

Wayland, taking the Unix out of guis

No rpi5 for me, the lack of 3.5 audio connector is for me a dealbreaker, I use rpi in my garage connected to a stereo Amp filter and not want to use a dongle. Have to find something else small and with the connector for audio. The only connector I use is the audio, power and network, all other connector is hided to protect them from from dust.

Does anyone know whether MythTV will work on the Pi5?

New Debian os eventually installed after a few problems on Pi4. However screen calibration on Elecrow 5” isn’t perfect. Menu for Add/Remove is off lhs of screen & can’t scroll down to sign in on iplayer. Also, tried installing PiKiss and can’t find it on the menus.

I really want the Pi 5. Wish i could trade in the two 4s I have for one 5 lol

Does Raspberry Pi have an “authorized” upgrade path from bullseye to bookworm? Or do they still only support fresh load?

For some reason it's not moving wpa_supplicant.conf from root upon boot. ssh file moves. Tried a second imaging and no go. Same file I've used for a few years with other builds without issue.

If we trusted corporations, we could have nothing and be happy. If we distrust corporations, can we slow our lives down so that the RP5 is good enough?

The new Pi Os rocks and just highlights why you buy a Raspberry Pi , support !!!!!!
My first gen Pi4 now runs just over 100 MGHz higher , cooler and rock solid no random crashes...
My Pi3 B+ runs harder on cpu , gpu , core and mem .... The Pi3 B+is far quicker and far more usable although mousepad seems to have a problem starting up quickly , I found Pluma does not...
The Plank dock works 32 bit system on the Pi3 B+ but not on the Pi4 64 bit system ..
The one thing that is missing at the moment from the menu is the Themes option under Preferences... You can however install the KDE desktop and ever thing works great...

!!!!!!! Well done Raspberry Pi Foundation.... !!!!!!!

I want to try this os on a thin client with 4 gig ram, now Raspberry Os is available for PC desktops.

When rpi5 available to buy in latam ?

I wonder if the Twister UI for Ubuntu/Mint will work on Bookworm ?

2023 and RPI 5 can't play video :-))))))

Installed Bookworm 64 bit Lite on Pi4 8GB. Then installed KDE Plasma and lightdm. After the raspi-config tweeks to set WIFI country and desktop login it worked very well. A good improvement from Debian 11.

Would be nice to see benchmarks and comparison between Debian 11 32 bit and Debian 12 64 bit using wayland on Pi4. I have only used 32 bit systems on Pi4 until now, and i wanted to know will i get a noticeable improvement switching to 64 bit Debian.

The new pi 5 Ubuntu 23.10 is in the Imager app

Is there a way to use fucking touchscreen without boring bugs and shit?

Wayland is crap. I don't understand why people get excited about it, I wish that it wasn't being made default everywhere. I hate it how even with conservative distros you end up a constant beta tester when using Linux.

I have the following issues with Wayland (that I told aren't a problem for some reason)

- The settings files of your WM are hidden away 3 directories deep in .config directory.
- I have random mouse lockups when I have a lot of tabs open in Firefox and Brave (so it isn't a browser issue and doesn't happen with X).
- Full ccreensharing doesn't work on load of apps because of the permissions model. No I don't care that X is technically insecure, I need screensharing to work.
- I use X forwarding via SSH. Been working for decades now.

I tried it on Raspberry Pi 400, non overclocked and I got disappointed. It was very unresponsive. I clicked on the internet browser and it appeared after almost a minute. Can you make a video of this operating system on Raspberry Pi 4/400?

Got a Pi5 8gb +power supply + case on priority order, really looking forward to getting it so thank's for the video giving the lowdown on bookworm. I have just flashed your Pi OS/kde plasma image onto an sd and that's what i'm using right now running on Pi4 4gb and i love it so, thank's for providing it.

I’m genuinely disappointed with the new Raspberry Pi 5 board. I had higher expectations regarding its hardware capabilities, particularly given the availability of other single-board computers with significantly superior specifications. In my view, the new board resembles more of a Raspberry Pi 4B+ that was initially intended to launch six months after the 4B model but was inadvertently overlooked.
Yes, the software support is nice and all, but I don't feel there's a lot of room for improvements..

Very informative video...Thank you.... Can XFCE be put on Bookworm....

I think Ubuntu have made their pi 5 OS downloadable

do you have steps to install kde plasma on bookworm?

Just wish remote tools (i.e. meshcentral) worked better with Wayland 😞

Tried it on a 4B. Not impressed. Lost the desktop themes. Hate the bright default theme. And I can't get that 'Smart Sim' educational app to do much of anything. Maybe later after a few updates. In the meantime Bullseye works pretty much perfectly so I don't see the need to upgrade right now.

Can I just update to the new version?

Loss of RealVNC is not great.

I dont care until I can order it, please stop posting videos on the rpi5 until orders are available please.

Thanks Lee for this informative video because I differently am going to upgrade my RasPad 3 with the Raspberry V.
A couple of things to note: ETA PRIME showed me that I was not -pronouncing your channel name (LEESPS VIDEO) instead of (LEE PSP VIDEO). and when you say BETA and pronounce it (BEE TA), I was yelled at by my 2nd grade teacher she would say it's pronounced (Bay TA) not (BEE TA) when I was doing (Show and tell.) Well I guess Winston Churchill was correct about "two peoples separated by a common language.".....:)!
Have a nice day!

THE IMAGER HAS ISSUES WITH NON FAT MICRO SD CARDS WHICH NO ONE SEEMS TO ADDRESS ???

Thanks for your sharing

This is a huge step in the right direction but also a huge step backwards

It's good to see that RPF is finally ditching X11 and switching to wayland in general
And it's even better to see them using wayfire instead of mutter

HOWEVER
Since RPF seems to like backwards compatibility, the decision to use wayfire over labwc is kind of weird to me
They could have kept raspberry PI OS the exact same
And it could have worked the same way it did before

Regardless, Change is not always bad but i hope that the average pi user is ready to experience wayfire's flaws, and wayfire's shell even more
I'm hoping this gets addressed by either the creator of wayfire or RPF

Will you do a video on: Setting up Jellyfin for the Orange Pi 5 Plus? How to get hardware acceleration working.

Is it just me or now PCManFM has a memory leak?
After a few hours it fills all the available RAM on my Raspberry Pi 4...
It didn't happen in the previous Raspberry Pi OS version.

pulling terminal from the current explorer folder is not new. what is great is how faithful they have been to the previous interface so people are not lost in this transition.
can’t wait to try this when i get the rpi 5 whenever it is actually available. by that i don’t mean pre-order, but when it is actually physically attainable.

I'm definitely getting the new Pi before anything else. But, I went to the Orange Pi site a couple of days ago. There's an Orange Pi 5+ up for pre-order. The specs are insane. 32 GB of RAM available on launch. A full size 2280 NVME. It's like they stuffed everything onto this board that they could. Too bad that they still haven't caught up in software and support. The Pi 5 is still going to be a better device overall.

I run my unifi network controller on a raspberry pi 4 as well as openmediavault to turn the pi into a nas (mainly for my movie collection, I have a ton of rips that I can watch from any device on my network), and pihole as a dns server adblocker. I’m looking forward to the pi5.

Thanks for taking the time to make these videos. Can't wait for my pi5 to arrive.

Hi man.
Thanks for the videos, I think you are the best person to ask this.
Is there such thing as an embedded android that can run in the pi zero 2 w?, I want to be able to run just 1 android app, nothing else...

Ahhh nice to have GPU profiling

My own opinion about Raspberry Pi OS since buying my rpi4 3 years ago is their OS is trash for me as a general user. The whole issue with having access to my own files on my own drives without all the unneeded su access bullshit is the biggest turn off as a user to this particular OS. A user should have immediate access to their drives and files even those in the boot directory if they wish without all the complicated command line crap involved in gaining that access. Just me but Manjaro makes that whole situation so much more user friendly immediately versus raspberry pi os the windows 95 turd edition knockoff clone. i mean come on. this damn thing cant even render icons properly in the task bar after a theming change. they get wonky as hell. and i booted this up hoping for a much more friendly update for a general user and sadly it was the same old crap. if you are a general user and want a working and nice experience without 99 percent of the su user access nazi overkill this bullshit has then go with Manjaro for your Pi. Skip this at all costs.

Great to see this update, feels like a good step forward.

What kde theme are you using?
