It's very easy to remove that and ask for a password on first boot. It could literally be one line in a shell script. They could put it in a text menu if they want to get fancy.

More professional (non-hobby) RP based devices probably aren't using stock vanilla Raspbian anyway.

stock vanilla Raspbian anyway.

Raspberry pi OS != Raspbian

Those are two completely separate and different OSes.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 6 months ago (2 children)

Force of habit. I've been working with Pis for a while, long before the name change.

Wait, is Rasbian not a thing anymore?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 6 months ago

It is. There are two. Raspberry Pi Os, and Raspbian. The former used to be Raspbian. I still get them confused.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 6 months ago

Hmm, ok. My impression was that Raspian still exists as a separate thing. I didn't know there was a name change.
