## What it is
A collection of shell scripts and drivers that install and configure TFT LCD display and touchscreen support for various screen sizes (2.4" to 7") on Raspberry Pi boards. It handles kernel driver setup, display rotation, and X server configuration for Raspbian and related distributions.

## Use cases
- install a 3.5 inch TFT LCD driver on Raspberry Pi
- enable touchscreen on a 2.8 inch RPi display
- rotate the display direction on a Raspberry Pi TFT screen
- get a small LCD working with Raspbian
- set up a 7 inch TFT display on Raspberry Pi Zero W
- configure MHS35 display on Raspberry Pi

## When to choose
- you have a goodtft/MPI-brand TFT LCD connected to a Raspberry Pi
- you need a quick script-based driver install on Raspbian, Ubuntu, Kali, or RetroPie
- you want display rotation and touchscreen support without manual kernel patching

## When to avoid
- you use an HDMI monitor or official Raspberry Pi display
- you need drivers for non-Raspberry-Pi hardware
- you require a signed, licensed codebase - the repo has no license
