The renewed raspbian pixel for raspberry pi arrives
Table of contents:
Raspbian is the operating system specially designed for Raspberry Pi devices, the pocket computer or mini PC that has multiple purposes for the domestic market or professional use. The new version of Raspbian has just been released with many new features in terms of software performance and especially in design, making it more pleasing to the eye.
PIXEL, the new desktop environment for Raspbian
The name of this new version of Raspbian is called PIXEL and brings news regarding the software. The Chromium browser is now included by default with this official Raspberry Pi distro, and RealVNC has also been included to use the remote desktop function.

The design of this distro has completely changed thanks to PIXEL. Designed by UX engineer Simon Long, the desktop environment and overall layout has changed, windows with thinner, rounder edges, cleaner title bars, new icons, a more pastel color scheme, new default text font, all without compromising the performance of the operating system, which should always be kept light for this class of devices such as Raspberry Pi. The set of wallpapers has also changed with 16 new options to choose from that perfectly match the new look.
Appearance of the file explorer in Raspbian
The new Raspbian is already available in two versions, one with the PIXEL visual environment and the other that comes without it. The unzipped image takes about 4GB of disk space.
