Now, of course, you may say, “I never heard of this operating system before!”
But that is no problem. We will show you what you can do with other commercial operating systems (e.g. Microsoft Windows 10) and what you can do with the Raspberry Pi OS. You will be amazed how much is possible here.
| Function | available with Raspberry Pi OS | commercial operating systems |
|---|---|---|
| surf the Internet | yes | yes |
| Create text documents | yes | yes |
| Create calculations | yes | yes |
| View and edit images | yes | yes |
| Receive and write emails | yes | yes |
| Programming | yes | yes |
| Create websites | yes | yes |
| Listen to music / watch videos | yes | yes |
| Installing Programs | yes | yes |
| Play Games | yes | yes |
As you can see, with the Raspberry Pi OS you can do pretty much anything you can do with a commercial oerating system. The more you know your way around, the more fun you’ll have with the operating system. Of course, you won’t be able to use all of the same programs that are available for the other commercial operating systems. But there are always good alternatives.
Be sure to take a look at the Linux Programs course to get an overview of the most important programs for Raspberry Pi OS. You’ll see how exciting the world of Linux can be.
By the way: Linux experts are in high demand in job markets everywhere these days. So the better you know your way around here, the more in demand you are going the be!!!!
