OpenSource For You

A new distro that can run on Raspberry Pi!

-

The best part about open source and Linux is that it can be tweaked. The latest news is that folks at Fedora have added a twist to their Linux operating system and created an all new distro for the low cost minicomput­er, Raspberry 3i.

Known as 3idora 18, the operating system is definitely not the first one of its kind. The developers have already released two versions in the past; however, they were not optimised for the ARMv6 architectu­re. This is what makes 3idora 18 stand apart from the crowd. It is ready for Raspberry 3i.

The Fedora team has used the word ‘remix’ to describe its new operating system because it includes ‘proprietar­y software provided by the Raspberry 3i Foundation and the SOC vendor Broadcom, which cannot be included directly in Fedora.’
