Raspberry Pi was made from the beginning to be used as a cheap desktop computer that people can play around with and students can buy with their own money, pretty much like the BBC micros and ZX Spectrums in the 80s. From day one it came with a full Linux desktop system and was meant to be used by itself as a proper computer.
