Debian based official OS for Raspberry Pi computers
Raspberry PI OS has made it possible to develop low-cost computers and IoT devices.
PROSWith Raspberry Pi OS it is possible to develop extremely light and affordable computers and IoT devices. It is best suited for developers and hobbyists. It is a dedicated OS for ARM processors and supports hardware rendering. It is free and supported by the Raspberry Pi foundation with a wide range of official boards to meet any kind of commercial project needs.
CONSStill immature for enterprise-level implementation. Cannot be used for heavy computing. A hardware upgrade is not possible.
Reason for choosing Raspberry Pi OS
We choose Raspberry Pi over these alternatives for its less size and better hardware support.
Reasons for switching to Raspberry Pi OS
We made a switch to Raspberry PI OS because it is Debian-based. Also, RaspberryPI produces varieties of hardware that support this OS without any trouble.

Rapberry Pi an on a budget solution for scalable projects.
Very helpful and low budget to implement prototypes on IoT projects and low edge computing for IA.
PROSThe way you have back up support from all the community over the world implementing projects similar to the one you might start.
CONSThe user interface is still very command line based, given that is Linux based OS is understandable, nevertheless it needs to get better.
Reason for choosing Raspberry Pi OS
The flexibility and compatibility for the Raspberry pi, versus the expensive cost to purchase a PC to integrate to industrial process in acquiring data.
Reasons for switching to Raspberry Pi OS
The Azure IoT central is expensive to deploy for IoT solutions than the capabilities that Raspbian can provide given the flexibility.

Raspberry Pi OS: Controlling Raspberry Pi I/O using Python
Very good experience with the Pi as a controller for external machinery. I even used it in developing my microprocessor design courses for testing automation and interfacing applications.
PROSWe tested Raspberry Pi OS in developing control software for Raspberry Pi 3B+ controllers. The configuration simply consists of connecting relay switches to the output ports of the Raspberry Pi to automate the on/off switching of electrical machinery. The programming language we used is Python which had all the libraries needed to control the I/O ports on the Raspberry Pi. Moreover we developed simple Web Server code on the Raspberry Pi to provide a Web user interface to the device management. Very easy to use and develop to produce real-world control applications. Would like to upgrade to Raspberry Pi 4 which promises better energy efficiency (this is a major problem I faced with task intensive processing on the Pi.
CONSData as well as processing intensive operations produce a lot of heat on the Raspberry Pi. This is definitely not an issue with the OS but an architectural issue. It would be nice to upgrade and inspect with Raspberry Pi 4 as it promises better energy management. It would be great to test some machine learning training or image processing on the Pi and see how it goes in terms of energy consumption and heat dissipation.
Reason for choosing Raspberry Pi OS
More flexible programming environment.

Raspberry Pi OS up there with the best now
For integrated systems we often use Raspberry Pi's and the Raspberry Pi OS just makes everything easy, no messing with terminal or fiddly setups, it just works and it's reliable. Bullseye has just been released and is even better.
CONSRaspberry Pi OS can be fiddly to get up and running and certain things, even available in Debian, just aren't available.
Reason for choosing Raspberry Pi OS
The alternative is Windows which costs so much more or Unix which takes a lot longer to get up and running.

Raspberry Pi OS: Driving an efficient low-cost IoT controller
We used Raspberry Pi OS for providing an IoT controller for a home automation system. It proved very efficient and feature-rich to provide a full-fledged interfacing solution.
PROSThe main thing that drove us to use Raspberry Pi OS/Raspberry Pi devices is the Input/Output ports that can be fully controlled to interface with external IoT devices and sensors. The programming was done using a traditional Python interpreter which made the development very smooth and portable.
CONSRaspberry Pi devices are not capable of running resource intensive tasks such as in the fields of signal and image processing or AI model training. This is fully understandable as these devices are not designed for such tasks but I believe with a slight increase in the cost of the device much better energy/heat dissipation could make the processors capable of supporting such tasks.

Amazing Usage
A powerful OS in a tiny package with the ability for any major feature.
PROSThis is a tiny OS footprint with tons of capability and features
CONSOlder versions were more complex especially with the bootloader and the disk imager...that has recently changed and is now very easy and friendly.

Versatile open-sourced sandbox for all use-cases you can think. (And plenty you can't)
Automating so many tasks that I no longer have to physically be present for. They do everything from monitor, alert, sense, notify, queue, diagnose, etc.
PROSIts basic and primitive functionality. If you are confused, or stuck, there is an ABSOLUTE PLETHORA of forums and tutorials all over.
CONSIt does get pretty technical with the Python and JavaScript quite often. You will have to learn enough to navigate your way around.

Rasberry pi os
My experience was so great i made many types of industrial projects using raspberry pi so i knew what it can do in our budget and its saves much electricity
PROSThis os is made for raspberry pi mini computers. these one is entry level of computer system very small and tiny architecture and fits in pocket easily. This os does not require large amount of power so we can run this system on power bank also
CONSThe very large coding operations was not done we need to another level of the raspberry pi so we can easily perform the heavily coding
