Yes. That's right. For example, loading Linux Mate was problematic - it would load on the 3B+ but the Wi-Fi would not work. That sort of thing. There's now a version 18 of Mate which I have since loaded and which works fine on the 3B+. A trifle slow but ... Teething problems only I guess. Perhaps the 4+ will be a bit more seamless. That extra RAM will certainly make a difference and the quad-core CPU can't hurt either.

I do like my Pis. A big fan. I am currently using a couple of Pi Zero Ws to build small security cameras for use around the house. Uses an OS called MotionEyeOS. Great little unit.
