Operating systems

The Raspberry Pi primarily uses Unix-like Linux-kernel-based operating systems, such as variants of Debian and Fedora.

Raspberry Pi Models A, A+, B, and B+ are based on the ARM11 family chip, which runs on the ARMv6 instruction set. The ARMv6 instruction set does not support Ubuntu and Windows.

However, the recently launched Raspberry Pi 2 is based on ARM Cortex A7, which is capable of running Windows 10 and Ubuntu (Snappy Core). The following operating systems are officially supported by all the models of Raspberry Pi and are available for download at the download page:

Raspbian: We will be using this with Raspberry Pi throughout the book
OpenELEC
Pidora (Fedora Remix)
RASPBMC
RISC OS

Note

Windows 10 and Ubuntu are only supported by the recently launched Pi 2.

Raspbian

Raspbian is an unofficial variant of Debian armhf (ARM Hard Float) compiled for hard float code that will run on Raspberry Pi computers. It is a free operating system based on Debian optimized for the Raspberry Pi hardware.
