It's also worth mentioning that RISC OS was nippy at 8MHz (RISC OS 2 on a A310 - that thing was ready to use before the monitor had warmed up), it really flew on the RiscPC and the StrongARM upgrade made it seem unbeatable. And now on the Pi we're running it at at least 700MHz - it's the only OS that still feels fast on the original Raspberry Pi from 2012.
I just installed the 64bit version of Ubuntu Mate on my Pi4. It's pretty sweet, I'm using it now and so far it's flawless despite being a beta build. Next up is Amiberry.
@@wisteela that seems to be nice! My first computer was an Acorn Electron (I still have it). So I would like to give Risc OS (with the beeb emulator) a shot :)
During the time your schools were using Acorn Archimedes, my school used Apple II/e. I was surprised when one of my classes got a Apple II GS. I thought it was a Mac at first. My first time seeing a Mac was the LLC and it was in the school media center.I used to skip lunch hour just to mess with that. Then one day I saw a Mac Plus. Boy did I toy around with that! I even yelled at another student for deleting the System Folder contents. I helped the media center fix it. I even made copies of the startup disks and passed one to each teacher.
Raspbian XP is kind of an early TwisterOS, maybe he started making this video long ago. Anyway, it is still a shame he didn't cover TwisterOS, it is probably the best pi OS yet.
Yeah twister os is an amazing pi4 is. It's become my daily driver and have it loaded to usb ssd. Then if I need a different os I can either pop in a micro sd or another usb ssd with another os. But I think it will be a little while until twister os is beat. Although my 2nd favorite is fenix os that had a lot of little improvements. The only problem I have with it is trying to get an English version of the website and documentation so I went back to twister
Gentoo was a great idea to try. Thanks for the tip. Now, next to Manjaro for ARM, it offers a very good alternative for everyday desktop computing on Raspberry Pi.
Manjaro KDE is the only OS that works smoothly on my Pi4 (on SSD), runs my ultrawide monitor at 50Hz and detects my bluetooth mouse and keyboard on first try. And I tried a lot of distributions. Now I can code away on the Pi using VSCode with clojure, python3 etc - with the Vim extension, of course ;-). Frees up my Win10 machine for gaming and Netflix and my iMac for photo and video editing.
Yes, Manjaro with LXDE is the fastest of all the distributions I have tested so far. (as I am using it with memory card, this configuration is too slow for KDE). The only problem is that pandoc and a good part of R markdown are out of the question due to lack of libghc availability. Otherwise, this is the distribution I like best.
Haha, I remember installing Windows 10 IoT Core onto a Pi 3 (I think, if not earlier) just to miff a Linux loving coworker. :D The installation itself was a breeze, although I don't remember doing anything with it afterwards - it was all done to get the man's reaction. Good times! :D
Cheers Dan, informative as always! Going to check out Volumio for my Pie 4. I too have a good few Pie's kicking about. One in an A600 case running Amiberry, one in my mini arcade machine, one running an LCD Scroller Matrix and another 3 kicking about doing nothing lol. Great wee machines!
My favorite is (Twister 2.0) it comes with all the Raspbian X themes, like Windows 95, XP, Windows 10, IOS, Ect... It also has Android, Chromium, Retropie, Pi Hole, Box 86, Steam, lots of extra apps! With Berry Boot, you can have multiple OS's! It has everything I want on my Pi!
The specs of ichigo are disappointing, 1KB for programs. Look for the maximite colour 2 computer, a single board ARM computer that boots and runs a modern BASIC at a extraordinary speed. Someone is even porting wolf3d to run in interpreted BASIC.
You missed Manjaro with full desktop with xfce or kde plasma also ubuntu server and you went over the option of using SSD either SATA or NVMe with a usb bridge now that RaspberryPi supports USB boot.
Notes for me: - Raspian XP emulates Windows XP, with a Windows 98 emulator - IchigoJam BASIC boots into a BASIC interpreter - Volumio is an audio player - AmiBerry emulates an Commodore Amiga - RiscOS emulates an Acorn Archimedes - GenPi is recommended for Pi 4 - RetroPi is recommended for gaming - Windows 10 may work on a Pi 3, needs adaption to work on a Pi 4
Need a Pi now to try RiscOS. West coast USA over here... we used Apple II clones and then Macs in elementary school... blech. My Amiga 500 crushed anything and everything they could do except word processing. (I admit the Macs had awesome keyboards to type on.)
Since Apple has announced future Mac computers will be ARM based, just like Raspberry Pi. It shows that not only are the Raspberry Pi more advanced than Apple right now... but also that at some point you'll be able to hack Mac OS on to a Raspberry Pi. Time to start looking for Raspberry Pi Apple themed cases.
13:13 So if it takes several minutes for Windows to respond to an icon click, then it sounds like performance is on par with the desktop version :-) I'm not sure why anyone would want to run Windows, especially in a performance constrained environment, and considering that it'll never be compatible with x86 binaries, which means Linux will always have more software. I guess to each their own. Anyway, I was surprised that you mentioned ARM Windows even, but not AROS at all. I've not tried it personally, but there is supposedly an ARM based version of AROS. I'd love to see that running on a Raspberry Pi 4, if it's possible, especially if it can run classic Amiga games, with the appropriate ROMs, of course.
Even if the PI could run Windows 10 just fine one day what's the point? It defeats the purpose of having a PI as Windows 10 is not really teaching anyone anything about how computers work, how to code or do cool things with computers. There are far better OS to put on a pie than Windows 10. Why anyone is trying to get Windows 10 to work on a pie is beyond on me.
Amiberry is going to come in handy should I wanna build an amiga, or even check out RISCOS or even Chromium OS (if I'm looking to just chill and watch youtube). a couple of OS's I recommend are Apple Pi OS, Twister OS and Apple 2 Pi for Apple computers.
Windows 10 actually runs really well on pi 4 and 3 as long asnyou usenthe usb to sata. Just he other day a patch was made to the installers which lets you boot direct from USB. Also there is a very easy installer
I was hoping to see recommendations for secure operating systems e.g. which run all connections over TOR and encrypt your data by default as well as making verifying PGP signatures easy.
Gentoo? On a raspberry Pi?? That's work fine right up to the point where you try and emerge webkit or libreoffice, or anything a similar size. They must be supplying pre-compiled binaries for that...
I really miss floppy disks. If there was an amiga emulator that would allow me to use a usb floppy drive, so when I put a floppy disk in there with a disk.txt file containing the file name of what the disk image is to load, then load the adf from the sdcard in the pi. That'd be great if any one wants to make it happen, or knows how to make that happen.
I was looking at comparisons of Pis with Sun Sparc systems. The Pis are much better computers than many of the very expensive servers running fortune 500 companies back in the 1990s.
Most of these are just variants of Linux. I have used the Ichigo Jam. It is a very 70's micro computer basic. On the other hand, it boots very fast, is simple and stays out of your way. If you consider that the Pi was conceived for tinkering rather than productivity, we now find ourselves with very heavy OSes running on our Pi boards and the Pi's tinkering role falling to Arduino. Running LED projects with PWM settings to decrease LED brightness, you can see noticeable flickering caused by all of the OS overhead. If we're not doing projects with our Pi boards why are we not just using cheap 5 year old PCs or hacking our old cell phones?
I guess the problem with running w10 on a pi4 is not due to the cpu power or ram or whatsoever.. i guess it is more to the IO on the SD card since windows10 writes a lot on the harddrive and access randomly everywhere.. check in the taskmanager the load on your "harddrive" i guess it is 100% all the time and the cpu is just idleling..
Thanks for this, I bought a raspberry pi 4B 8 gig edition, it was a kit, but I didn't like the default OS, so I tried Ubuntu, I kept running into weird glitches with stuff not supporting the ARM processor on it with Ubuntu, like it wouldn't even install VLC media player no matter what I tried and it was really slow, but after watching this it looks like Genpi64 might work, as it includes all the stuff I was trying to get running on Ubuntu 64bit, im flashing an SD card now with Genpi64, will see how it goes.
I looked at RiscOS a few months ago and I like it, but the big drawback for me was that you could not connect wirelessly to the Internet, you could only use an ethernet cable
I run Manjaro OS on my PI 4 which is a Arch based OS if you don't know. A few of these OS defeat the purpose of having an PI if if they have everything pre installed. Even if the PI could run Windows 10 just fine one day what's the point? Again it's defeats the purpose of having a PI as Windows 10 is not really teaching anyone anything about how computers work, how to code or do cool things with computers. There are far better OS to put on a pie than Windows 10. Why anyone is trying to get Windows 10 to work on a pie is beyond on me.
I've watched and rewatched with subtitles on and the subtitles say and I definitely hear and see that Nord VPN is going to protect me with their cyber sex suite????
Is GPU support still a problem with alternative OSs for the Raspberry Pi 4? That used to be the biggest roadblock for stuff like Android on the Pi 3, making it run extremely slow.
I have a pi 2,2b and 3b my plan is getting a 4 but im still waiting for better emulator support for like the sharp x68k,pc-98,dos,pc enigne, Or maybe hope for a stronger Pi that also can run PS2 emulation rely well.
When you were opening the windows 10 calculator,. my multimedia keyboard has a button that launches the calculator. I booped it and it came up before yours finished. lol
i think that the specs of ichigo jam are disappointing. How about combian, to boot into c64 straight. Better basic, better machine. Or try a color maximite for how basic computers should have evolved.
Just read this from somebody who tried the Pi Amiga Pack, any ideas anyone ? I get the following error when trying to load a lot of the WHDLOAD games - DOS-Error #205 (object not found) on reading "devs:kickstarts/rom.key. I also had ROMS from another source and get the same error
I would like to try linux mint distribution on a pi .I don't see why it wouldn't work. Oh I forgot the pi is arm based. Ubuntu Xfce might run better. I am looking for a cakewalk version of linux to run on the pi. Midi no one ever mentioned so I don't know if it's possible yet.
@@ronb6182 Most distributions don't seem to have an ARM version, which is the big stumbling block. Seems odd given that ARM will probably be the wave of thefuture... I ran Manjaro on my Pi for a while, but its update utilities "went insane" and stopped working after a few months. (It wasn't as nice a UI as Linux Mint had anyway). Now I'm running something that makes the Pi desktop look like Win-XP, but it doesn't seem to have any software update utility included in it at all (weird right?), so it's not going to be the best going forward. My main problem with Raspbain is that it's just too dummied-down, missing many standard customization controls and utilities...
@@warp00009 I don't understand all that utilities stuff yet. I only do basic stuff on the computer. I would like to run basic and maybe another language. For old stuff. I am still looking for a pi that has usb 3 on it , I think it's best to think ahead as well as retro.
@@ronb6182 The Pi-4 has two USB-3 ports on it. It is also possible to get a third-party add-on that will allow it to connect SATA devices too - so external hard drives and CD drives could be easily connected to it. Even though it has a slightly slower clock speed (not overclocked at all) than my MINIX NEO (Intel Atom based system), my pi-4 does some things like monitoring all my home security cameras in real time much better. Good "bang for the buck" with the Pi!
@@warp00009 Thanks I'm sold on the new Pi 4. There are you tube channels on TI 99 4a so I can run old 99/4a programs on the PI . I need more research on using the PI for cakewalk music and keyboards. I think this little computer will one day replace the big computers for home use. I'm glad this you tube video is opening a new way of home computing. Thanks for the information and hopefully linux mint will get an ARM version soon.
