Raspberry Pi Founder Eben Upton proudly announced the availability of the Debian-based Raspbian GNU/Linux distribution with the recently introduced PIXEL desktop environment for PC and Mac.

As you might be aware of, Raspbian is the official Linux-based operating system for Raspberry Pi single-board computers. In the same manner, PIXEL is the new interface of Raspbian, launched in September 2016, based on the LXDE (Lightweight X11 Desktop Environment) project.

Until today, users were able to download and install the Raspbian with PIXEL images on their Raspberry Pi 2, Raspberry Pi 3, or Raspberry Pi Zero SBCs, but it looks like there's now an official spin that allows you to install the Debian-based operating system on your laptop or desktop computer.
