I am using a Raspberry Pi 4 B. And a Miuzei 4" IPS screen. Tried multiple times. I always get "NOT SUPPORT".
tonybald Posted 2016-04-07

I have tried nearly all the operating system for the raspberry pi 2 and 3 some are good some not so good..but head and shoulders the best by a long long way is RaspEX.....I downloaded it last night actually very early in the morning and after wasting time trying to get the networking to work sent the author a help me email.He responded very quickly and after I had reviewed my own stupidity it worked a charm.It is very fast and very familiar if you know the Debian/Ubuntu world.I urge all Raspberry Pi owners to try it you will not be disappointed
