It features loads of improvements and a major change that signifies the move to a more modern approach to window systems. + +Let's see what they've accomplished. + +### Raspberry Pi OS: What's New? + +![][2] + +Based on the latest **[Debian 12 'Bookworm'][3]** release, the developers have had to make **major architectural changes to the Raspberry Pi Desktop**. + +Some key highlights include: + + * **Wayland Only** + * **Networking Improvements** + * **PipeWire by Default** + * **Raspberry Pi-Optimized Firefox** + + + +Naturally, you can expect the core benefits of Debian 'Bookworm' along with the above-mentioned changes. + +#### Wayland Only + +Yes, you read that right. + +The Raspberry Pi Desktop has moved to the [Wayland][4] window system as its default, dropping the [X11][5] window system owing to various limitations, with the primary selling point being that **Wayland performs better on modern hardware**. + +All of this was made possible thanks to the implementation of the [**Wayfire**][6] compositor, which also allowed the devs to keep **** the **user experience a familiar one.** + +Quoting the devs from the release announcement: + +> If you boot Raspberry Pi OS on a Pi 4 or 5, you will now get a Wayfire desktop. It should look pretty much identical to the desktop you are used to from Bullseye, but appearances are deceptive — it has taken a lot of work to get to the point where the two desktop environments look the same! + +**We are not surprised by this move, though.** + +Recently, we have been seeing an increase in transition to Wayland from older window systems like X11 and [Openbox][7]. + +For instance, the recent move by GNOME that has kick-started the transition to **[a Wayland-only future][8]**. Even **Fedora Linux 40 is all set to drop the X11 session** for an XWayland approach with [Plasma 6][9]. + +It is interesting to see Raspberry Pi OS make the move already 😄 + +📋 + +Fret not, **for users who still want to use the older X11/Openbox display systems** , they can do so by re-enabling these from the 'Advanced Settings' menu under 'raspi-config'. + +#### Networking Improvements + +![][10] + +Working on the previously implemented [NetworkManager][11] network controller, the devs have been able to improve it by having **the networking plugin on the taskbar**. + +It looks almost the same as in the previous versions but with a new 'Advanced Options' element that allows users to access the new functions made available by NetworkManager. + +#### PipeWire by Default + +Raspberry Pi Desktop now features [PipeWire][12] for handling all audio/video-related tasks. It replaces [PulseAudio][13], for **a more modern and flexible approach** to audio/video handling. + +On the user side, you can take advantage of **better Bluetooth audio device management** , **lower latency** , **better interoperability with Wayland,** and more. + +Users do have **the option to revert to PulseAudio** by following the same steps mentioned above for switching the windowing systems. + +#### Raspberry Pi-Optimized Firefox + +![][14] + +For the first time, an **officially supported, Raspberry Pi-optimized version of[Mozilla Firefox][15]** is being made available through this release of Raspberry Pi OS. + +Users can now utilize the **V4L2 codec support** **for** **using the hardware h.264 decoder** on their Raspberry Pi, which should help in **better HD video playback.** + +They have also enabled [Widevine DRM][16] for **a hassle-free streaming experience** on major video streaming platforms. + +There are a few other subtle changes in this release. Refer to the [official blog][17] to learn more. + +### 📥 Download Raspberry Pi OS + +As the changes to the operating system are significant, the developers recommend that you **start with a fresh installation** (re-image your SD card). + +Sure, you can upgrade at your own risk. + +You can head over to the [official website][18] to get started. + +[Raspberry Pi OS][18] + +_💬 Are you excited about the new Raspberry Pi OS upgrade?
