- tyingq 4y agoI don't see the phrase "Raspberry Linux" in the linked page. Google results only seems to show those words as a deliberate name for a few niche things like "RT Raspberry Linux". Meaning, I still don't think "Raspberry Linux" is a thing. HN should probably change the post title here.
- mattl 4y agoYeah it’s not called Raspberry Linux. This is a mistake but I think most people know he meant Raspbian/RPi OS
- tyingq 4y agoHe said Raspbian. It's just the post title here that's off. Edit: Yes, it's something of a nit, but it helps for searching, etc, later. Or if in the future, a different product does have that name. "Raspberry Pi OS" is an option if Raspbian seems obscure.
- Kiro 4y agoThe post title is fine. I wouldn't have clicked this if it said something obscure like "Raspbian".

- benn_88 4y agoRaspbian [1] is the name of the original community project to port Debian to armhf (armv6 hard float) which ran on the Raspberry Pi 1. Raspberry Pi put our their own images based on this, and called it Raspbian until about 2020 [2] when they started calling it "Raspberry Pi OS" after they started producing aarch64 images.
