The mail order arrived on Monday with the box containing Raspberry Pi 5 + official power adapter, the official active cooler, and a micro-HDMI adapter. Assembly was straightforward. Next up was software.

The Raspberry Pi OS Desktop also comes pre-installed with Chromium browser and Evince document viewer, which are both excellent. I also installed Gimp (and considered installing Inkscape).

It’s been running for days now, and needs the top cover-off to prevent increase in board temperature. The portability of this Pi I can get used to. There is also Connect as a service, which is interesting.
