Raspbian Linux OS Gets Major Update, Adds Bluetooth Support to Pi 3 (betanews.com)

Posted by msmash on from the tiny-computer-gets-better dept.

An anonymous reader writes: The Raspberry Pi 3 was launched with built-in chip for Bluetooth and Wi-Fi support, however, software support for Bluetooth was lacking until now. The drivers were there, but today's update to the Raspbian Linux distribution adds much-needed GUI tools to help you establish Bluetooth connections. Another cool addition is a new backup tool. There are other improvements as well including the mouse settings, and the ability to empty the wastebasket through right-clicking as seen below (yes, seriously). There is even a new shutdown dialog, something even casual users should notice.Official blog post here.

    After reading the summary, Raspberry Pi 3 gets no update at all, it's Raspbian OS that gets the update.
