<h3 class="about">About Twister OS <span><h6>A note from our founder</h6></span></h3>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
Twister OS is the successor of Raspbian 95, Raspbian XP, Raspbian X, Raspbian X Nighthawk
|
|
and iRaspbian (The Last two being made by Grayduck) It was a personal project done by me, Salvador.
|
|
With the idea that the Raspian Pixel Desktop wasn't enough, I created Raspbian 95/XP. In terms of
|
|
productivity, XFCE was a much better desktop and adding some emulator would make make both worlds
|
|
(gaming and desktop) merged as one build. Twister OS is built on the official Raspbian Pi OS with
|
|
themes designed to appear like operating systems they are themed after, but they are no operating
|
|
systems by themselves. With that said, Software updates for Twister OS relies upon the Raspberry Pi
|
|
Foundation while internal changes to themes and included software are updated by us via patches.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
The second and maybe most important part weren't the themes themselves (That Grayduck a friend I made
|
|
through this process and now copropietary of Pi Labs Youtube channel demonstrating all his assets doing
|
|
that part much better than I), but was Box86. Box86 is an emulator developed by ptitSeb that vanishes the
|
|
borders between ARM Linux and x86 Linux, being able to automatically execute (with some kind of success)
|
|
x86 Linux binaries and Wine x86 without any complex process like we suffer on other slow and painful
|
|
implimentations, like Exagear (not open sourced and abandoned) or Qemu with chroots and VM's.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
Windows on ARM Operating System is another closed source non Linux way of running x86 software on
|
|
the Raspberry Pi 4. While it has a fast dynarec, it does everything through software and from my perspective
|
|
that's not a good approach, like it wasn't on Exagear. There is another thing, even with Microsoft getting
|
|
involved and making a driver for it, it would be limited to just the Raspberry Pi 4. Box86 and Linux can run
|
|
anywhere, especially with open source MESA drivers, it's not limited to just the Raspberry Pi 4. Box86 can run
|
|
on the Odroid N2, C4, any RK3399 and many other single board computers.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
With the idea of being able to execute x86 software with a fast dynarec plus GPU acceleration opens the
|
|
future of cheap ARM linux handhelds or laptops that would be able to run x86 Linux and Windows software (with
|
|
Box86 and Wine x86). I would like to thank ptitSeb for his continuing development of Box86 and all the MESA
|
|
driver developers to keep working on GPU's that are really constrained on capabilities and giving them features that
|
|
weren't meant for them, especially on Panfrost. Grayduck, the artist behind Twister OS, and Phoenixbyrd to
|
|
the support on Discord and this official site.
