Raspberry Pi OS Upgrade: Ditching X11, A New Browser, and Debian 12
======
The Raspberry Pi OS is ready for the latest Raspberry Pi 5 hardware with
Debian 12 and other big changes.
A new release of Raspberry Pi OS is here to complement the recently launched [Raspberry Pi 5][1].
The developers have worked on it for quite some time now. 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.
