With all Raspberry Pi systems taken over by the Imager app, what is the recommended version of Raspbian do you recommend?

Thank you for opening an issue on an Adafruit Python library repository. To improve the speed of resolution please review the following guidelines and common troubleshooting steps below before creating the issue:

• Do not use GitHub issues for troubleshooting projects and issues. Instead use the forums at http://forums.adafruit.com to ask questions and troubleshoot why something isn't working as expected. In many cases the problem is a common issue that you will more quickly receive help from the forum community. GitHub issues are meant for known defects in the code. If you don't know if there is a defect in the code then start with troubleshooting on the forum first.

• If following a tutorial or guide be sure you didn't miss a step. Carefully check all of the steps and commands to run have been followed. Consult the forum if you're unsure or have questions about steps in a guide/tutorial.

• For Python/Raspberry Pi projects check these very common issues to ensure they don't apply:

  • If you are receiving an ImportError: No module named... error then a library the code depends on is not installed. Check the tutorial/guide or README to ensure you have installed the necessary libraries. Usually the missing library can be installed with the pip tool, but check the tutorial/guide for the exact command.

  • Be sure you are supplying adequate power to the board. Check the specs of your board and power in an external power supply. In many cases just plugging a board into your computer is not enough to power it and other peripherals.

  • Double check all soldering joints and connections. Flakey connections cause many mysterious problems. See the guide to excellent soldering for examples of good solder joints.

If you're sure this issue is a defect in the code and checked the steps above please fill in the following fields to provide enough troubleshooting information. You may delete the guideline and text above to just leave the following details:

• Platform/operating system (i.e. Raspberry Pi with Raspbian operating system, Windows 32-bit, Windows 64-bit, Mac OSX 64-bit, etc.): INSERT PLATFORM/OPERATING SYSTEM HERE

• Python version (run python -version or python3 -version): INSERT PYTHON VERSION HERE

• Error message you are receiving, including any Python exception traces: **INSERT ERROR MESAGE/EXCEPTION TRACES HERE***

• List the steps to reproduce the problem below (if possible attach code or commands to run): LIST REPRO STEPS BELOW

I haven't worked with Raspberry Pi for a while. I've just obtained the Raspberry Pi 3 B+, with the intention of using Looper to play videos. Apparently, all the YouTube videos about Looper don't explain which version is the best choice for running Looper. And I can't find anything on any web sites. (Frankly, being prepared to do the original installation, suddenly being forced to use the Imager app scared me.) I chose the recommended 32 bit version (the one THEY recommended). Would another work better with Looper? Thanks for your help.

Please read the readme. There is everything you need to know, even a link to the specific image to use - RPI imager has the ability to let you flash an image file you previously downloaded and even enable ssh after the flash... or you install the prebuilt image also linked in the readme
