I usually install a headless Raspberry OS on a Pi. I don't use them as desktop/GUI devices.
In the past, getting these activated was a bit involved.
- ssh disabled
- wifi not active
- wrong keyboard for non-US
To get this set up, I'd usually connect the Pi wired to my network, and put a file called ssh in the root.
Then, I'd check my router for the IP, and use a terminal to set the wifi and keyboard.
Then I'd reboot and start with the other configurations.
Today I Learned that this can now be done via the Raspberry Pi imager.
When you select OS and SD Card, there's an option box.
You can now set the parameters above, and more, up front when creating the image.
Do it before starting to write, because these are set as part of that process.
That's all - just wanted to share a new learning.
Since I stumbled on it, I found many tutorials (like this one) that explain it.
