No hardware gpu acceleration, yet, so graphical desktop and browser
probably quite slow, certainly for video. They removed MMAL in an update
because it threw errors, which for some reason made VNC Server unable to
run. Also no Mathematica.

("MMAL (Multimedia Abstraction Layer) is a C library designed by Broadcom
for use with the Videocore IV GPU found on the Raspberry Pi. Providing an
abstraction layer upon another C library "OpenMAX", MMAL exposes an API
allowing developers to take images and record video from their Raspberry Pi
which is easier to understand and consume.")
