Xfce, LXQt, Mate, KDE, None - depends on spin None / Optional minimal LXDE with dietpi-software installer. Optional installer (dietpi-software) for popular, 'ready to run', optimized programs unique to all Pi Models(Kodi/RetroPie etc). There is some information on the news groups that 'hard float' optimization can speed up floating point operating up to 10x, please read detailed discussion on the Raspberry Pi forums.Ĭomparison Operating Systems for Raspberry Pi models A and B The official Raspberry Pi distributions are now optimized for ARMv6 and for 'hard float' which should have better performance on certain CPU intensive tasks. Therefore, it did not make use of the Pi's processor's floating point hardware - reducing the Pi's performance during floating point intensive applications - or the advanced instructions of the ARMv6 CPU. The foundation felt necessary to use the existing Debian port for less-capable ARM devices due to time and resource constraints during development of the Raspberry Pi. The Debian Squeeze image originally issued by the Raspberry Pi foundation as the recommended distribution used 'soft float' settings. Programming - programming languages that might be used on the Raspberry Pi. Performance - measures of the Raspberry Pi's performance.
