Which Pi version is best?

[austenzombie7]

@juvesito USE JESSIE! I found the best way to do this is to go here and I selected the one from 03/03/2017 and downloaded the zip file then unzipped it and used Win32 or Etcher to write the image to the micro SD. You’ll still have to run the
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade
commands but I’m still finding my way in the pi world, so I’m sure there’s an easier way. Anyways, no issues this way so far on Pi3 :)

If your heart is set on the Pi then the Pi3 is your best option, with Jessie. More importantly, IMHO, if you MUST use Stretch, DO NOT run rpi-update. You’ve been warned.

I stand warned and used Jessie! Thanks!!!
