NOOBS is the built-in operating system installer for Raspberry Pi. But if you already know which operating system you want to use, there's a quicker way to get your Pi up and running.

Amid all the excitement of the Raspberry Pi Zero announcement, a new Raspbian release and the corresponding NOOBS package have been overlooked. Here's my take on them.

The Raspberry Pi isn't terribly complicated to set up, but it's still a bit daunting to new users, especially if you've never used Linux before.

Instructional videos are also included detailing how to install and setup the various OSes, allowing you to quickly choose which Raspberry Pi OS is best for your project.

If you've grown tired of running Linux distros on your Raspberry Pi, you can switch things up by installing Windows 11 on the device.
