Raspbian or ArchARM
TemplOS
Windows 95
OS/2
raspbian without a desktop
raspbian
Install Gentoo
Raspbian, ArchARM, or FreeBSD.
1. Get a raspberry pi
2. Install a minimal linux distro on it, make sure to really only install the bare basics
3. Install X and mame
4. Install the ROMs for the apollo workstation
5. Boot the apollo vm, install the OS from tape
6. Set up mame to automatically launch the vm after the pi boots
7. Use it as your redpilled retro workstation
debian, gentoo, or alpine
forth
Raspian works best. Can also use kodi for media.
Slackware
I have lubuntu installed on my Odroid C1
Alpine

Minibian.
Devuan/Debian arm64 with AmiWM, Worker, NEdit, XTerm, and NetSurf. This is my current setup on my Pi 3B+ and it's peak comfy.

>armv7 source based distro
>on an armv8 board
Gentoo users pretend to be smart but they're actually the biggest brainlets on Jow Forums.
armv8 doesn't help you with shit on 1GB RAM. There's lots of proprietary armv7-only software required for the RPi. Previously, only 32-bit mode used to be supported by upstream. Recently, official 64-bit support did improve a lot and Gentoo folks worked hard on getting 64-bit images available, but I set this system up like a year ago and I still see no need to switch to armv8.
>using a 32-bit OS on a 64-bit system because muh memory
Pure fucking brainlet. armv8 runs 64-bit software significantly faster due to the way ARM chips work.
Genode, obviously.

>amiwm
Too bad about the shit license.
>skips past everthing else I said
ok retard. 64-bit mode USED to be much harder to set up and I never saw any use for it. Read a fucking book before you pretend to be smart online again.
>significantly faster
This Pi evolved into being literally just an entry point for SSH to other machines in my home network when I'm away. I wouldn't even notice if sshd ran 60% faster.
>caring about performance on a weakshit ARM chip at all
Fucking lmao
Gookboards out
The license is fine.
>bitches about proprietary software
>"lol its a just a terminal for sshing into other stuff"
>"dude lol you skipped my other points!"
>proprietary software
>"j-just make your own 64-bit networking drivers"
>just for ssh
Which is why I won't switch to armv8 anymore at this point. Your comprehension of time and use cases changing is incredibly lacking.
>lol u skip
I shall skip this argument.
What the fuck are you even talking about, dumbfuck? Devuan arm64 recognizes Ethernet and WLAN just fine.
What is Jow Forums's opinion on the Asus Tinker Board? I was planning to make a media center out of one.
install gentoo
I was thinking about how hard it would be to port it to armv6, but that would be a super fucking tough thing i guess
Run forth
good pictures
I run Gentoo on it with VC4 driver.
It's nice and easy to set up.

>running anything else than seL4/Genode
>unironically
Slackware
>seL4/Genode
Excellent taste, even for a weeaboo faggot.
t-thanks.
Raspbian with a real-time Kernel
RISC OS (haha just joking, it's rubbish)
>coop multitasking
Indeed rubbish. AmigaOS is better.
TempleOS
TempleOS is x86-64 only, you brainlet nigger monkey.
Plan 9
Run it in qemu
RISC-V paired with a third gen microkernel such as seL4 is the future.
Emulating a CISC architecture on a shitty RISC chip to run an OS that relies on a JIT compiler to use software. Yeah, that sounds like a fun time.
Is that Pike's blit, Rio, or something else?
>that backpedal
WEW
DietPi is my goto distro that I shill for
Has anyone tried those industrial grade sd cards that supposedly don't die.
It's a fucking C64 clone, it's not like it needs that many resources to emulate.
Windows 10 IoT Core
Turned me into a brainlet thanks
Kali. Thank me later.
What's wrong with it?
If you have to think about it you should've been aborted
you could run mate but the people who made it for 16.04 have decided not to do it for 18.04 I think it is possibly anti-japanese sentiment. it was the no. 1 os to run on a raspberry pi3.
ebin le maymay redditor
bunch of people committed to mate on raspberry pi. but it has stopped at 16.04. There is no reason for it . It happened after softbank bought ubuntu. They do not want to support/promote ubuntu on raspberry pi, as it owned by the japanese. there is Zero support, interest from the creators of ubuntu in it. They have abandoned people.
bought ARM. why aren't they ensuring this.? they are refusing to release the updated image, for the pi3.
Gentoo but with pacman
you spend your life supporting / promoting ubuntu and they do this to you. where is the 'ubuntu?' they do not care.
That still leaves the question of the host OS.
its definitely a policy decision, as it is possible to run mate with 18.04 on the pi3 / 3b+. they won't release an official image because they hate the japanese. there is racism. if it were the idiot brits, the release would have been made, as promised, last summer. Time to abandon the ubuntu platform I think. They are racists
Was wondering where in the thread this was. I use it too, works well for me
does anyone know of anything as good/simple just werking as ubuntu mate on raspberry pi 3/b/b+
the people who run ubuntu, have abandoned the mate users on raspberry pi
There are two of us! Lol
