Debian-Based Q4OS Linux Operating System for Raspberry Pi Goes Stable

Q4OS emphasizes the Trinity Desktop Environment (TDE), which continues the legacy of the old KDE 3.5 desktop. The latest release, Q4OS 2.5, was available only for 64-bit (x86_64) and 32-bit (i686 PAE) hardware architectures, but now it can also be installed on ARM hardware like the Raspberry Pi, Pine64, and Pinebook. A lot of work went into optimizing the Q4OS operating system for ARM devices, and while users can download and install it on the well-known Pine64 single-board computer and the Pinebook ARM laptop, the Q4OS 2.5 “Scorpion” release is optimized for Raspberry Pi devices.
