Today, Raspberry Pi announced the beta release of Raspberry Pi Connect, a new service designed to facilitate remote access to Raspberry Pi devices through a web browser. This service is intended to provide a simpler alternative to traditional methods such as VNC or the X protocol, especially following the transition to Wayland in the latest Raspberry Pi OS Bookworm, which does not support the classic X remote desktop.

To use Raspberry Pi Connect, the device must be running a 64-bit version of Raspberry Pi OS Bookworm on a Raspberry Pi 5, 4, or 400. Users can install the service by updating their system, installing the rpi-connect package, and rebooting. After installation, a new icon appears in the system tray. By clicking this icon and signing in, users can initiate remote access, with additional documentation available for navigating the beta's limitations.

The developers over at Canonical have been busy baking a yummy new version of Ubuntu recently, and following a brief beta period, it is finally time to take the open-source operating system out of the oven. Yes, folks, the stable Ubuntu 22.04 is finally here!

Code-named "Jammy Jellyfish," Ubuntu 22.04 is an "LTS" version, which stands for "Long Term Support." Yeah, that means exactly what it sounds like. The Linux distribution will be supported for a long time -- five years to be exact. Very nice.

ARM is the future of desktop computing, and once again, Apple is leading the mainstream in this regard -- its new M1 Mac computers have been very well received. True, Microsoft had Windows on ARM first, but the reality is, consumers didn't care about that. Apple has made desktop computing on ARM popular.

With all of that said, Linux on ARM predates both Windows and macOS on ARM, and quite frankly, Linux is better equipped to scale to different architectures. The newest Raspberry Pi 4 computer, for instance, can run desktop Linux distros like a champ. And now, Arch Linux-based Manjaro ARM 20.12 is here for Raspberry Pi 4, Pinebook, Odroid N2, and more.
