Much is talking of the Raspberry Pi 5 in recent weeks. It seems logical to us for two reasons: first, because the new versions of the raspberry plate are news in themselves; the second, because its new features, with power at the forefront, allow you to move any software such as video game emulators more easily. We also have support, and week after week we do not have news of an operating system that can now be officially installed. The last one arrived a few hours ago, and it is Kali Linux 2023.4.
Among the new features there are some that are more internal to the project than to the operating system, such as that Kali Linux 2023.4 will now be in the Amazon AWS and Microsoft Azure stores. More related to software, support for Vagrant in Hyper-V has been added. Although there is not much to tell, the support for Raspberry Pi 5 It is also related to the software, with a dedicated image to be more specific. It can be downloaded from their website, but is also available from (Raspberry Pi) Imager.
