There are many options when it comes to Raspberry Pi OS, but in 2020, let us rejoice and welcome Endless OS to the family! Endless OS is currently only supported for Windows, Linux, or Mac, but it’s now making its way to Raspberry Pi!
Earlier on at CES 2020, Endless INC. showcased its operating system running on a Raspberry Pi 4B 4GB, sparking thoughts that is it coming to the PI? Yes, the company founder Matt Dalio, announced that a public beta should be available within the next few weeks!
