RaspEX

ABOUT
RaspEX Build 250804 is a full Linux Desktop System with LXQt and many other useful programs pre-installed. Firefox is used as Web Browser and Synaptic as Package Manager. You can use Synaptic to install any extra packages you may need. RaspEX uses Ubuntu's 24.04.2 LTS software repositories so you can install thousands of extra packages if you want.

NEWS 250804
This RaspEX 64 bit Build for Rpi5/Rpi4 uses kernel 6.8.0-1031-raspi and Ubuntu 24.04.2 "Noble Numbat" repositories.

I am using a Raspberry Pi 4 B. And a Miuzei 4" IPS screen. Tried multiple times. I always get "NOT SUPPORT".

I have tried nearly all the operating system for the raspberry pi 2 and 3 some are good some not so good..but head and shoulders the best by a long long way is RaspEX.....I downloaded it last night actually very early in the morning and after wasting time trying to get the networking to work sent the author a help me email.He responded very quickly and after I had reviewed my own stupidity it worked a charm.It is very fast and very familiar if you know the Debian/Ubuntu world.I urge all Raspberry Pi owners to try it you will not be disappointed
