ARM Release for Raspberry Pi micro computer #36

Open Mraanderson opened 7 years ago

Are there plans for a modified image for the Raspberry Pi? The hardware is very cheap and would make a great display device. We already use them for webpage displays (QCQ requirements) but would be great if the Raspbian Jessie image was also tailored to suit an NHS branded environment. Lose the rubbish, tweak the theme etc.

Ubuntu Mint is already available for the R-Pi but can be somewhat temperamental.

I can confirm the B00merang Windows 10 theme and icons work on Raspbian with Pixel. 'Start' menu button doesn't but that wouldn't be too difficult. This would be beneficial to use for display screens (PowerPoint or website).

Documentation should note the use of as a minimum an RasPi 2 which has 4 cores, 512MB ram and is by far a "less painful" user experience than using an RasPi1 with only a single core.

UE is going to be an important factor IF this is to be adopted.

To be honest, I wouldn't want to run it on anything less than a Raspberry Pi 3 in a live environment. Consistency across installation with integrated WiFi and Bluetooth.

Stressing an importance in speed of SD card to give maximum performance.
