If you are only going to use the Pi in headless mode, you mustwill select this next configuration. In '''Boot Options''', ''Desktop / CLI'', select '''Console Autologin'''. On your actual Pi, instead of showing the desktop as default, you will see the splash screen (unless in another option you turn it off) that says "Welcome to the Raspberry Pi Desktop - Powered by Raspbian" and a terminal prompt where you can enter commands. Alternatively, in boot options, select another option depending on what you want to do when you have a keyboard and monitor (or TV) connected to your Pi.
 
The default locale for a Pi is normally '''en_GB.UTF-8'''.

Whatever locale you use, if you have already been using Cumulus (1 or MX), you need to ensure the locale matches the one used for your log files. The versions of MX released from the middle of 2020 onwards are very fussy that all dates use the same delimiter (see [[Cumulus_MX_formal_release_versions]]), so you need to check the chosen locale continues to use the same date separator as before. The locale is affected by the version of Mono you install and whether you use the locale parameter when starting MX, so I cannot cover all options.
 
Anyway, the default locale is fine if you are in the UK, you use decimal points for real numbers, you use commas for list separators, and you don't have dates with month first!
