“I got the Pi 3 to replace my Pi 2 Kodi media station. Replacing it was as easy as plugging all the cables in and out and exchanging the SD card. That's it. Everything runs smoothly, with the hoped for extra CPU push.
The only caveat that I ran into: I had overlooked that the Pi 3 has higher power needs. So I had to exchange my power adapter for a stronger one. So keep in mind that you will need a strong charger, like you'd use for a tablet or a large smartphone, not the slim little chargers that most smaller pieces of electronics use.”
“Ubuntu Mate is a slick desktop indeed and it actually runs well on the RPi3.
Browsing the web is a little too slow for heavy use, but LibreOffice Writer runs without a hitch.”
