Caution
Do NOT use the latest RaspberryPi OS Bookworm release (also don't upgrade via apt) with the new kernel 6.6, if you need to use GPIO components . There have been incompatible changes for the RPi.GPIO library, so Buttons, Shims and Rfid Reader usage can be broken (#2295).
Using RaspberryPi OS Bullseye is the current recommendation as it does not use the new kernel.
