50 Raspberry Pi Hacks & Tips You Should Know
Five Ways To Run a Program On Your Raspberry Pi At Startup
Rotate the Raspberry Pi screen
  • To find out which shell you're using, run the command echo $SHELL or ps $$
  • List/check installed fonts fc-list | grep "DejaVu Sans"
  • At times the Pi 3 B+ may seem slow or unresponsive, so check the green light at the edge of the board for activity:
WolframMark Benchmark Results:
Raspberry Pi 3 Model B+ (2017), 1400 MHz: 0.14
Raspberry Pi 400, 1800 MHz: 0.23
Raspberry Pi 4 Model B (2018), 2000 MHz: 0.24


Shut down the Raspberry Pi properly:
use the GUI or the command: sudo shutdown -h now
(just pulling the plug may cause memory card corruption.)
