Raspbian was first developed by Mike Thompson and Peter Green as an independent and unofficial port of Debian to the Raspberry Pi.<ref>{{Cite web |title=RaspbianAbout – Raspbian |url=https://www.raspbian.org/RaspbianAbout |access-date=5 June 2016 |website=www.raspbian.org |archive-date=14 June 2016 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160614234733/http://raspbian.org/RaspbianAbout |url-status=dead }}</ref> The first build was released on 15 July 2012.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Index of /raspbian/images/2012-07-15-wheezy-raspbian |url=https://downloads.raspberrypi.com/raspbian/images/2012-07-15-wheezy-raspbian/ |access-date=9 December 2021 |website=downloads.raspberrypi.com}}</ref> As the Raspberry Pi had no officially provided operating system at the time, the Raspberry Pi Foundation built on the work by the Raspbian project and began producing and releasing their own operating system images of the software.<ref>{{Cite web |title=RaspbianImages – Raspbian |url=https://www.raspbian.org/RaspbianImages |access-date=24 February 2022 |website=www.raspbian.org}}</ref> The Foundation's first release of Raspbian, which now referred both to the community project as well as the official operating system, was announced on 10 September 2013.<ref name="Raspbian release notes" />
On 28 May 2020, the Raspberry Pi Foundation announced a beta [[64-bit computing|64-bit]] version. However, this version was not based on Raspbian, instead taking its [[Userland (computing)|user space]] software from Debian.<ref name="Piltch 2020">{{Cite web |last=Piltch |first=Avram |date=30 May 2020 |title=Raspberry Pi OS: Why It's No Longer Called 'Raspbian' |url=https://www.tomshardware.com/news/raspberry-pi-os-no-longer-raspbian |website=[[Tom's Hardware]] |quote=The official Pi operating system is now called 'Raspberry Pi OS.'}}</ref> When the Foundation did not want to use the name Raspbian to refer to software that was not based on the Raspbian project, the name of the officially provided operating system images was changed to Raspberry Pi OS.<ref name="Piltch 2020" /> This change was also carried over to the [[32-bit computing|32-bit]] images that they distributed, though it continued to be based on Raspbian.<ref name="Piltch 2020" /> The 64-bit version of Raspberry Pi OS was officially released on 2 February 2022.<ref>{{Cite web |date=2 February 2022 |title=Raspberry Pi OS (64-bit) |url=https://www.raspberrypi.com/news/raspberry-pi-os-64-bit/ |access-date=24 February 2022 |website=Raspberry Pi |language=en-GB}}</ref>
