Twister OS: make your Raspberry Pi look like Windows or macOS

Twister OS

There are many operating systems for the Raspberry Pi, one of the best known is Raspbian OS. But there are many others based on Linux and other different kernels, such as BSD, as well as RISC OS. In addition, some time ago we also announced a project that aimed to simulate the appearance of operating systems such as Microsoft Windows and macOS, this is also the case for Twister OS.

Only unlike those other operating systems that emulated the appearance of the Redmond and Cupertino system, in the case of Twister OS is an all-in-one, being able to choose between the appearance you want to have on your SBC Raspberry Pi board. In addition, as it has evolved in its various versions, it has been polished and currently works quite well ...

You can currently Download the version TwisterOS 1.8.0 32-bit, which you can install as you would with any other operating system for the Raspberry Pi on the SD. And despite being 32-bit, even if the Steam client doesn't work, you can run some video games with the help of Wine or Play On Linux, as well as Box86.

Twister OS is the successor from projects like Raspbian 95, Raspbian XP, Raspbian X and iRaspbian that claim to mimic the desktop environments of Windows 95, XP, 10 and macOS respectively. For this, a Raspbian Pi OS distro has been used as a base and an XFCE environment to make it light and with some tweaks to be able to simulate those environments.

Es compatible with Raspberry Pi 4, although it could be run on other SBC boards, such as Raspberry Pi 3 Model B +, although you could run into certain problems. By the way, in either case, Twister OS is still in the process of being improved, so don't expect all the features available, such as audio via Bluetooth wireless technology, which is not supported at the moment.
