Re: NOOBS on my netbook??
No. The "NOOBS installer" software can only be (usefully) run from an SDHC card plugged into a Raspberry Pi - its purpose being to install (and, subsequently, re-boot into) one or more Operating Systems that the Pi can use. However, you can use your netbook to "install" NOOBS onto the SDHC card in the first place, instead of purchasing a card "pre-installed" with NOOBS.seanvll wrote:if i purchased a NOOBS could i install it on my netbook?
Trev.
Still running Raspbian Jessie or Stretch on some older Pi's (an A, B1, 2xB2, B+, P2B, 3xP0, P0W, 2xP3A+, P3B+, P3B, B+, and a A+) but Buster on the P4B's & P400. See: https://www.cpmspectrepi.uk/raspberry_pi/raspiidx.htm

If you want to run Linux on your netbook that's not difficult to do. Try getting a Live CD version on a bootable USB stick.seanvll wrote:if i purchased a NOOBS could i install it on my netbook?
NOOBS can run in qemu (an ARM emulator that runs on X86) but that is probably too complex for you with your level of experience.
Running NOOBS outside qemu is not possible because your netbook is an X86 processor and your RPi is an ARM processor and the two are entirely different.
Any language using left-hand whitespace for syntax is ridiculous

Technically his "netbook", could be an ARM based chromebook - but unlikelyDougieLawson wrote: Running NOOBS outside qemu is not possible because your netbook is an X86 processor and your RPi is an ARM processor and the two are entirely different.
NOOBS /raspbian is linux - so you can of course install linux (e.g. ubuntu) on your netbook and have a similar experience (the commands and applications are the same)

Re: NOOBS on my netbook??
You could, however would struggle to install it on your netbook. Raspbian is based on an ancient distro called KNOPPIX and knoppix can be installed, or booted live on a netbook. If you want another distro that can be installed via NOOBS it is all possible, Pidora is based on Fedora.
You could say my love for Linux is terminal

Raspbian and KNOPPIX are both based on debian but other than that there is no realationship between them.theoscy wrote:You could, however would struggle to install it on your netbook. Raspbian is based on an ancient distro called KNOPPIX and knoppix can be installed, or booted live on a netbook.
