Raspberry Pi OS • Re: Installing and running omxplayer under Bookworm (on a 3B+)

But why go Bookworm not Bullseye on that Pi3?
Indeed. The simplest solution would just be to run an older version. Most of my Pis run Jessie, since that does everything I need and does it predictably.

However, there are theoretical reasons why running the latest and greatest is desirable. For one thing, I need a pretty recent version of Python in order to run one particular app written in Python.

And, yes, I get what I think you are hinting at - that unless you are running a Pi4 or Pi5, and want to mess with Wayland, there's not much point in running Bookworm. That's why I often refer to Bookworm as "Pi5OS".

I could certainly go back to Bullseye. I'd have to find out what version of Python comes with that.
