ZORIN OS RASPBERRY PI SOFTWARE
Some of these ship with the ‘pure’ upstream software from the Linux distribution, identical or similar to what would happen if the user installed the OS themselves from a USB key. Some users buy their computer hardware from tier-one vendors like Dell, HP & Lenovo with the Operating System pre-installed. Not all Linux users are the same, however. They often like the power in their hands to modify the shipped software, add and remove to their taste and have total control over the bits on disk. Other Linux users are ‘freedom lovers’ who prefer the FOSS model that Linux typically brings, with access to source code and a community of hackers & tweakers. Many don’t like the Microsoft or Apple model, but prefer control, and err on the side of privacy first. Users of traditional Linux distributions which are digitally downloaded, or bought on DVD/USB have different expectations. Usually there’s some level of financial exchange going on so the hardware vendor gets a kickback if the user updates to a paid subscription, or they make some revenue from advertising shown to the user.
ZORIN OS RASPBERRY PI UPDATE
That may be trial versions of software, update managers, power utilities or other applications and tools seen as ‘necessary’ by the device manufacturer or distributor. The user expectations are different.Ī device from a hardware vendor, shipping with Microsoft Windows will often come pre-loaded with software to ‘enhance’ the user experience. This makes sense given the OS is proprietary anyway, there’s no real need to separate the proprietary applications from the FOSS ones. There’s not (in the stock install) on those proprietary operating systems, a concept of additional repositories. This is unlike the typical Microsoft and macOS experience where there is a central storefront, and the ability to go ‘off piste’ to get 3rd party software via direct download. Others like Ubuntu and Zorin OS are more pragmatic, allowing the user to choose between FOSS and proprietary applications out of the box. Some are hard line - such as Fedora and elementary OS - that limit the out of the box experience to certain classes of Free and Open Source (FOSS) software. Some of these distributions have guidelines which set expectations for what can and cannot be added to the base image in terms of repositories. It’s common for traditional Linux distributions to have a set of default repositories, and perhaps some user-modifiable options to adjust the available new and updated software. Code is very popular and is an optional Integrated Development Envronment for the new Pi Pico.
ZORIN OS RASPBERRY PI INSTALL
This enables users to have an easy way to install some prominent developer focused software - VS Code. On this occasion the update added a Microsoft repository to the Raspberry Pi defaults. This change means new and existing Raspberry Pi devices, running the officially maintained and blessed Operating System will check in with an additional software repository when updated, which will offer more software to the consumer.

In a recent update to Raspberry Pi OS, the official operating system for the diminuative computers, a new repository was added to the default install. It’s just a month into the new year and we have our first controversy in the Linux community for 2021.
