Check if the Raspberry Pi can support a 32-bit OS before purchasing. The current version is 32-bit, so compatibility with older CPUs like the Celeron G5900 needs verification.

Raspbian is built for ARM devices, which means it wouldn't function properly. It's essentially a customized version of Debian tailored for that architecture.

Check if you can install an x86 operating system on your Celeron chip before purchasing the Pi.

Consider purchasing a Pi 4 and unsure about Raspberry Pi OS, opt for Ubuntu instead.
