Elementary OS on Raspberry Pi3 (arm processors) ??

Marv_Mark · 06-24-2016, 08:24 AM

Ok so i'm admittedly a linux noob and haven't coded anything in over a decade...buttttt

Shouldn't this wonderful operating system be running on Raspberry Pi3 or another common arm setup ?

Anyone know a good first step in getting to this and what would be involved.. i believe there is a version of ubuntu that works on arm - but what about all of the appendages (packages) ?

Thanks for your contribution

I don't do Ubuntu (or derivatives) but I'm sure at least some are ported (Raspian e.g.)
Lots of options - Arch, Slack, whatever. Arch runs fine on Pi3, I use it as a router/firewall.

Hi - yes i understand that there are very basic versions of linux available for RP3, but i specifically want to port this version - as it is the only one i have tried that is aesthetically acceptable to me.. ie.: simple, beautiful, functional .. thanks

I will check out arch.. maybe i can get it to run with the elementary user interface
