What is Reddit's opinion of Raspberry Pi OS?

From 3.5 billion Reddit comments

You can't go wrong with Raspbian (now Raspberry Pi OS) on a Pi. The Lite version is all you need, you can run it headless.

>Upon a reinstallation i have Raspian Buster, dated 8/20/2020

That doesn't mean anything, from here you need Raspberry Pi OS (32-bit) Lite

Not OP, but figured I could add something. I have Raspbian installed https://www.raspberrypi.org/downloads/raspberry-pi-os/ and then I installed Docker https://phoenixnap.com/kb/docker-on-raspberry-pi

I then installed the Home Assistant container https://www.home-assistant.io/docs/installation/docker/#raspberry-pi-34-raspberry-pi-os

I'm running Raspberry Pi OS with Home Assistant Supervised installed on it, I followed this guide to get it running.

The pi 4 EEPROM fixer is physically unable to screw anything up because the pi 3 doesn't have a writable EEPROM.

Install one of the images available on this page:

Do the imagers not work for you? Or the images listed here: https://www.raspberrypi.org/downloads/raspberry-pi-os/

There's no reason to think they won't work on the Pi1. The hardware hasn't really changed that much.

Here’s the link to the downloads. Again, you probably want Raspbian Lite.

Here’s a great tutorial which describes how to install Raspbian Lite and enable SSH

If you just got everything, set yourself up with Raspbian. The 'Lite' Version has no desktop environment, only command line. Up to you which version you get, any should work.

I also just updated the readme to basically have users type in each command from the setup script for now. This should be very easy to follow, and then we can identify which specific command, if any, is causing an issue. You can try with those instructions, but they aren't verified to be 100% working yet. I plan to make sure they work 100% by the end of the week.

Sorry it wasn't as straightforward as I thought it would be, thanks again for your interest!

The truth is, if you want to work with coding environments you need to become good at researching. There are many problems you may run into, and the solutions are all on the internet. I googled your problem and within a couple minutes arrived at the raspberry Pi builds below:

https://www.raspberrypi.org/downloads/raspberry-pi-os/

Choose the lite version without a desktop environment.

What version of Raspbian are you running?

cat /etc/os-release

If you're not running "Stretch" or "Buster" then you should flash the latest version of Raspbian from the Raspberry Pi website, or use the Homebridge Raspbian Image which comes with an up-to-date version of Raspbian.

If you are running "Stetch" or "Buster" can you show the output of this command?

uname -a

All you need is a raspberry Pi, and then I would suggest downloading the operating system following this guide: https://www.raspberrypi.org/downloads/raspberry-pi-os/

I would also suggest looking into “Arduinos.”

The OS for the Pi is Raspberry Pi OS (32-bit) Lite (Minimal image based on Debian Buster) from https://www.raspberrypi.org/downloads/raspberry-pi-os/ official website. I choose this because it has no GUI, so it's headless (I just SSH into it)

Then to setup on the Pi, I followed this tutorial on setting up Shadowsocks on Pi. https://gist.github.com/QuLk/2f482746f3dff29c795a52be4c4c9a8e
