Raspberry Pi OS 12 (Bookworm) released

[Tim Curtis]

Props to bitlab! Nice work on the repo and nice graphic as well.

I haven't tried using any of the bookworm packages yet but I did try a little experiment with the localui since I keep reading about Wayland displacing X11. Some of the descriptions are a bit opaque.

Test object: 

• Pi3B+ with official 7" display
  
• Raspberry Pi OS Bookworm Lite
  
• just enough packages added (imitating the old build instructions vis-a-vis localui) to support X11 and Chromium
  
• edited /etc/X11/Xwrapper.config: allow_users=anybody
  
• added /lib/systemd/system/localui.service
  
• added /home/<default user>/.xinitrc
  
• edited .xinitrc so --app=https://moodeaudio.org
  

Rebooted.

et voilà

Here's the screen after reboot



Maybe the rest of you already expected this but I'm relieved.

That's cool. There are also some symlinks that for example map /boot to /boot/firmware etc.
