(3)Operating system
The Raspberry Pi supports a variety of operating systems, mainly based on Liunx
and Windows, and most of them can be found on the official website of the Raspberry
Pi Foundation (www.raspberrypi.org). The following briefly introduces two
representative operating systems.
(1) Raspbian
Raspbian is the official operating system of the Raspberry Pi Foundation. It is
customized based on Debian GNU/Linux and can run on all versions of the Raspberry
Pi motherboard. According to the experience, Raspbian and Raspberry Pi combine the
best, stable operation, powerful, easy to use, can basically meet various application
needs, so it is strongly recommended to use Raspbian as the preferred operating
system for Raspberry Pi. In the following chapters, we will further introduce the use
of Raspbian in detail, and develop various applications on it.
(2) Windows 10 IoT Core
Windows 10 IoT Core is an operating system specifically created by Microsoft
for the Internet of Things ecosystem. Windows 10 IoT Core is the core version of the
Windows 10 IoT operating system. It has relatively simple functions and can run on
the Raspberry Pi of type 2B or above. The installation and use of Windows 10 IoT
Core will not be described in detail here. If you are interested, you can visit
Microsoft's website for more information.
In addition to the two operating systems described above, there are several
operating systems that support the Raspberry Pi, such as Ubuntu MATE, OSMC,
LibreELEC, PiNet, RISC OS, etc. As for which one to choose, it depends on whether
you want to use Raspberry What to do. If you want to use the Raspberry Pi as an
ordinary computer or for electronic project development, then Raspbian is a very
good choice. If you plan to use the Raspberry Pi as a media center, you can consider
using OSMC or LibreELEC.
