    Default Twister OS

    Not sure if many know about this so I thought I give a pointer.

    Currently my fav OS:


    Runs on a RPi 4B+ (4GB RAM recommended, even lets me clock the Pi @2.1Ghz directly from the desk top too.

    It is *cough* Windows/Mac/Linux all in one and the amount of preinstalled software is insane. I wish there was a PC version of this.

    The 'Mac' implementation is pretty good, as I never use the native Apple applications on my Macs anyhow I hardly notice that I am actually running Linux,
    well it is almost better than a Mac because I can run way more stuff, Krusader on a Mac, loving it.
    Only downside, being based on Raspian it is 32bit.

    'Windows' is Wine based with a nice XP look but haven't bothered testing it properly.
    I have 120GB of Retro game ROMS to test on it, probably would take a decade.


    Wiring Pi is included and works and because I like spaghetti I got it to work with Freebasic as well.
    The greatest achievements of the past that paved way for the awkward future were done with the simple GOTO command

    For a minimalist system this sure rocks big time but the Pi needs cooling.
    I am using this armour case for passive cooling. I hate those noisy fans. It has easy access to the ports, doesn't interfere with Wifi and gives the Pi a nice solid feel. There is armour underneath as well:
