The recommended operating system is [[Raspberry Pi OS]], a [[Debian]]-based [[Linux distribution]] optimized for Raspberry Pi hardware and tuned to have low base memory requirements. It is available in both 32-bit and 64-bit versions and comes in several editions: a standard edition, a "Lite" version without a desktop environment, and a "Full" version that includes a comprehensive suite of software.<ref name=":2" />

Raspberry Pi OS can be purchased pre-installed on a [[microSD card]],<ref>{{Cite web |last=Ltd |first=Raspberry Pi |title=Buy a Raspberry Pi SD Cards |url=https://www.raspberrypi.com/products/sd-cards/ |access-date=2025-06-11 |website=Raspberry Pi |language=en-GB}}</ref> or downloaded and installed using Raspberry Pi Imager, a utility introduced in March 2020 to simplify the installation of operating systems onto SD cards and other media for Raspberry Pi devices.
