This guy exudes positive energy. The internet needs more of this

[@jochen_schueller]

It even requires active cooling :P

Hehe, sorry about that echo!

[@kevinmcaleer28]

It’s fine, you tune it out after a bit! I was just saying to Chris - it’s like Christmas when you get to play with everyone else’s toys too - love your video and Twitter thread! I’m taking notes about how you’ve gone about the launch. It’s a master class!

[@kevinmcaleer28]

Thanks again @JeffGeerling, was great to talk with you

..that echo echo echo echo.... :P

[@nikobellic570]

People sad about loss of audio jack but it wasn't great. It had white noise coming through and no in-built DAC

Great summary - thanks!

im loving you videos i wa wondering if you could do a workshop tour

[@carlcodes8422]

Awesome video - thanks Kevin!

Wow, I want one! 😎 Then the RPi5 plus.

[@jochen_schueller]

Do you already have project ideas in mind that make use of the new capabilities/added functionalities of the Rpi5?

[@kamertonaudiophileplayer847]

I am not interested in UI version of the OS. Is there a command line only version? It will make my decision to buy it.

[@kevinmcaleer28]

Of course - you don’t need to use the Ui, it’s easy to switch that off and boot directly to command line

[@kamertonaudiophileplayer847]

does it have the same pinout of 40-pin socket and linear dimensions?

[@kevinmcaleer28]

Yes!

Hi Kev, Is it true the RPi5 needs its own OS, or can I still run my sd cards from my RPi4 that run on Buster and Bullseye? Thanks, Al

[@kevinmcaleer28]

I understand from raspberry pi that it will need the new OS to run due to the hardware changes. However you can upgrade from Buster and bullseye to bookwork and then move that as card across

[@alanscallycooper5334]

@@kevinmcaleer28 unfortunately not, as we use a lot of old libraries on Picochess and are still 32 bit. RPi5 seems to be 64 bit and I doubt we’ll get picochess running on it …

[@kevinmcaleer28]

@@alanscallycooper5334 do you have a link to picochess? I've give it a try and let you know

[@alanscallycooper5334]

I’ve provided a link twice and asked how I can get a beta copy of bookworm OS, but the posts disappear? Al

Does it support widevine plugin for chromium? Or will that need 32bit Chromium?

[@kevinmcaleer28]

I’m not sure (what is Widevine?!)
