Video overview of the Buster OS. In this video, we will get a basic overview and features of the Raspbian Buster arrays for the Raspberry Pi for now I assume that you have learned to do remote access of the Buster desktop from your computer. Now let's properly made the Raspbian Buster always. Even though Buster has launched along with the release of the Raspberry Pi four, the operating system is backward compatible with all the previous models of the PI. I hope you're now in the desktop environment. On the top left corner, you can see a Raspberry Pi logo.
Click it to open the applications menu. This is where you will find the software's that are pre installed in Raspbian and anything else you add later. The globe icon on the right of the pie icon gives you a quick access to the chromium web browser The folder icon opens the file manager. You can use it to find, move, copy and delete files on your storage devices. Try to explore the Linux file system. The file manager uses a hierarchy browser on the left, your files will be stored in the pi sub folder inside the home directory.
The next icon is the terminal icon. Even though Raspbian features a nice goi that you can use for many day to day tasks. To get greater control of your Raspberry Pi, you will need to use the terminal. The terminal also known as the shell, or command line interface, is a text based interface that accepts and interprets your commands. You can use terminal commands in Raspbian to run programs, execute scripts, manipulate files, etc. The default terminal On the Raspberry Pi devices running Raspbian is called LX terminal.
If you ever worked in the command prompt in Windows, you will find the interface similar. It is a text based interface in which you type in commands and get a response. Now go to the top right corner just before the time icon. Here is a speaker icon, which is obviously for volume control. You can also select audio output by right clicking on it. This is useful when you have multiple speakers set up for different applications.
Left of the volume control is the network icon. This can be used to monitor wired and wireless networks. You can also scan for Wi Fi networks and connected to it by left clicking on the icon. You can right click this icon to get access to more configuration settings for your network. hovering your mouse pointer over the icon will reveal quick information about the current network like a society, IP address, etc. The next icon is the Bluetooth icon.
You can manage Bluetooth connections with this tool, just like the network icon, left clicking the icon reveals options to add, remove and switch off the Bluetooth. Right clicking reveals panel options and more configuration for Bluetooth. You can use Bluetooth devices, such as keyboards and mice to control your Raspberry Pi four wirelessly. If you are working remotely on the PI, you will also see a VNC icon on the left of the Bluetooth icon. This icon signifies that the VNC server is running and if you left click on it, you can see all the information about a specific VNC server That is running. Do you need to adjust some settings, then the Raspberry Pi configuration g UI tool is the best tool.
The Raspberry Pi configuration tool is in the preferences section of the applications menu. In its system tab, you can change your password, adjust the display options, and set Raspberry Pi to boot to the command line interface instead of the desktop. In the interfaces tab, you can enable connections, including remote GPIO, access and the camera to adjust the amount of memory or to set Raspberry Pi to run faster. Visit the Performance tab. You can change the timezone keyboard and other geographic options in the localization tab. Inside the preferences section of the application menu, you can use the recommended software tool to find and install applications You can also use the screen configuration tool inside the preferences section to easily configure the resolution, aspect ratio and orientation of the screen.

You can configure how your desktop goi looks like by right clicking on the desktop and selecting desktop preferences option. It has options to change the layout, wallpaper, text color, the size and color of the menu bar, the system colors, fonts, and much more. Summary In this video, we have covered the following topics, basic overview and features of the Raspbian Buster always. In the next video, we will learn how to create a backup for the Raspberry Pi four and the steps to restore read
