is Raspberry Pi OS entirely usable without a trackpad/mouse or does this need an external one to be connected?

  The Bumble Berry has a touchscreen, so if you need to use the Raspberry PI OS GUI, you can simple use your finger as a mouse pointer. I've found it works pretty well for the rare occasions that I need to start the GUI. However, I mostly use this unit in terminal, which means I boot to terminal and only occasionally start up the GUI with startx when I need it. I use terminal because: I'm trying to brush up on my terminal skills and most of my use-cases are covered in terminal with applications. Some of my favorite terminal applications are: tmux - for managing multiple terminal windows nano - for writing code (occasionally I use vim) tty-clock - nice clock screen saver lynx - text based web browser. works surprisingly well on some sites like wikipedia epy - ebook reader - great for reading classic free ebooks from Project Gutenberg doom - because doom cmatrix - matrix-style screensaver - looks really cool My main use case is for learning new code languages - it's nice to have a handheld device on me to practice writing code when I have a few minutes on me but don't have a laptop
