Notes and version constraints

- Some PCs do not support HDMI hot-plug; a reboot may be required.
- If the Raspberry Pi also powers other high-consumption devices over USB, an external power supply may be needed.
- The long-press feature requires additional software installation and udev configuration; see the FAQ section for details.
