Resources to Get Started with RaspberryPi?

Resources will vary depending on what you want to use it for:

- To use as a general computer, downloading the official OS and following the provided instructions to image to a microSD (or USB flash drive for those Pis capable of booting from USB) might be the easiest. Or if you got a kit that comes with a microSD that already contains the OS, or can get one of those cards, would remove the need to create your own. BTW, You may want to try a lighter distro if you have an older Pi (3 or older), or Pi Zero, because the full version can be slow to load on those Raspberries.

Any particular use case that you are interested in? Also, what Raspberry Pi are you using?

I don't really care for the 3.3 volt I/O of the Pi, but here's a good overview of the interfacing available.

Monitor, mouse, keyboard and treating it like just another computer might be a reasonable way to start.

Or not depending on what you are trying to start and your relevant experience.
