1.2.4 Starting the Raspberry Pi for the first time
The Raspberry Pi will reboot and automatically launch the configuration raspi-config after the installation
has completed. You only need to select the option
Desktop Log in as user 'pi' under Enable Boot to Desktop .
German and the German keyboard layout are automatically selected along with other important basic
settings. The graphical LXDE desktop is available after rebooting.
1.3 Almost like Windows – graphical user interface LXDE
Many cringe when they hear the word "Linux”; they fear that they have to enter some cryptic command
sequences into a command line, just like under DOS some 30 years ago. Far from it! Linux offers developers
a free open operating system to develop their own graphical user interfaces. So the user is not bound to use
a user interface that in its core is still a command-line based operation system.
