Today we're releasing the newest version of Raspberry Pi OS, called Bookworm, like the #Debian release it's based on.

In Raspberry Pi OS Bookworm, we're launching some major changes to the #RaspberryPi Desktop: the Wayland display system, PipeWire sound interface, and NetworkManager network controller bring increased responsiveness, flexibility, and security. We're also offering Firefox as a browser option alongside Chromium.

Bookworm — the new version of Raspberry Pi OS - Raspberry Pi

It's an odd-numbered year, so there is a new major Debian release, and we are now releasing the corresponding version of Raspberry Pi OS.

I see that an upgrade isn't recommended because of the changes from x11 to wayland, but there shouldn't be any problem with a minimal headless system, right ?

Is there an official method for setting up a read only system? Useful for situations where system may lose power suddenly. I’ve used third party scripts in the past but with major changes these things need updated usually. At least in my case, no need for a desktop environment but it does need to cope with power loss. Been running a few devices in this manner for years with no issue. It would be great to have an easy method to configure a system for this purpose.

The user set password does not work if you disable the “auto login to desktop” option. The password does not work when attempting sudo either.
This is on a clean install on both the 32 bit & 64 bit versions.
Recommend holding off on installing the new version until this is fixed.
