I
own a Raspberry PI since
two years but I used it as headless server from the very
beginning. I have, almost, never seen its window manager apart
from some remote desktop experiment. I so learned only recently how
latest
Raspbian released are shipped with a new lightweight desktop
environment: Pixel. More recently I also learned
that Pixel has been released for X86 “common” computers I decided
to test how it runs on my EEEPC 900 netbook.
First
impressions
I
downloaded Pixel ISO disk image from here
and prepared a bootable USB disk. Raspberry page suggested using
Etcher to prepare the boot disk but
UNetbootin did the job as
well as usual.
The
boot process went smooth and quite fast, and Pixel here is my very
first screen-shot of Pixel.
