After the surprise release of Raspberry Pi 4, the Raspberry Pi Foundation has released a new version of its default operating system Raspbian, Raspbian Buster. Maintaining the software backward-compatibility with older hardware, Buster will be the default operating system for all models of Raspberry Pi.

The tweet from official Raspberry Pi account reads

“It’s not only #RaspberryPi4 that’s new; we’ve released a new version of Raspbian, our default operating system for all models of Raspberry Pi, too.”

The Raspbian Buster released as the successor of Raspbian Stretch which was the default Raspberry Pi operating system for almost 2 years, is compatible with all the models of Raspberry Pi. Buster is based on the latest version of Debian Linux 10, with Linux kernel version 4.19, and 8.3 GCC compiler. As the previous Raspbian operating systems, Buster also provides users with the PIXEL (composed of LXDE) desktop environment.
