In the previous three posts about exploring my Raspberry Pi, the operating system has always been Linux; first looking at Raspbian, the Debian GNU/Linux spin for the Pi, then Arch Linux ARM and Pidora ...

Students of ARM history will know that the origins of the wildly popular processor architecture lie in the British computer manufacturer Acorn (the original “A” in “ARM”). The first mass-market ...

The processor in the Raspberry Pi – an ARM11 built by Broadcom – actually has a long and storied history. Much as how the Intel i7 in a top-of-the-line desktop can still run code written for the ...

Raspberry Pi OS, the main recommended operating system for Raspberry Pi computers, just received a helpful update. This might be the last version based on Debian 12 ‘Bookworm,’ ahead of the expected ...

There's no shortage of operating systems you can try on a Raspberry Pi. These include general-purpose distros like Ubuntu and Fedora that are ideal for desktop and server use, as well as more niche ...

In 1987, as the first reduced instruction set computing (RISC) ARM chips hit the scene, programmers at Acorn Computers created RISC OS, a simple, ‘co-operatively multi-tasked’ OS designed for small ...

The Raspberry Pi Foundation yesterday announced the availability of RISC OS for the tiny computer. RISC OS dates to 1987, having been developed for ARM-based personal computers by the now-defunct ...

The Acorn Archimedes range of computers was moderately popular, especially in schools, around the time of the Atari ST and Amiga home computer reign. However these ARM powered computers were quite a ...

There are a wide range of different Raspberry Pi OS packages available and choosing the correct one for your hardware, application or project is not always easy. Here we compliled a list of popular ...

The Raspberry Pi OS has evolved considerably from being a Debian fork (Raspbian) into a mature operating system, just about staying ahead of competing distros. Unless you have a very specific purpose ...

Owners of the $35 Raspberry Pi mini computer might be pleased to learn that the Raspberry Pi Foundation has today announced the availability of RISC OS for the Raspberry Pi. Originally, RISC OS was ...

I really liked the Acorn computers we had at school. I remember the user experience being leaps and bounds ahead of what the early IBM compatible PCs had to offer at the time. I also learnt to program ...
