Hello. This is a feature request for the documentation page of the official raspberry hardware.
I would find very useful to have a filter, so one could select e.g. "Pi5 only" "Pi Pico 2 only" and filter out all the
documentation that do not apply to the search.
I tried to search for Pi5 specific info and the lack of filters makes it very hard to interpret the context of each section.

at this point, it's super unclear which of the three options are to be used in place of the old rpi.gpio.
LGPIO? gpiozero? or GPIOD?
GPIOD seems broken
Assuming we are speaking of Python code...
My summary, which you will find is worth every penny, cent or dinar you pay for it, is that for new code use gpiozero. The documented recommendation.

And for existing Python scripts written to use the features of the RPi.GPIO library - use the solution recommended in the post preceding yours which will transparently bring RPi.GPIO back to life.
