Raspberry Pi’s PIXEL desktop, now on x86/PC/Mac
Raspberry Pi’s founder Eben Upton calls it, “…the GNU/Linux we would want to use,” and explains, “we asked ourselves one simple question: if we like PIXEL so much, why ask people to buy Raspberry Pi hardware in order to run it? There is a massive installed base of PC and Mac hardware out there, which can run x86 Debian just fine. Could we do something for the owners of those machines? [The result is] an experimental version of Debian+PIXEL for x86 platforms. Simply download the image, burn it onto a DVD or flash it onto a USB stick, and boot straight into the familiar PIXEL desktop environment on your PC or Mac.”
