The Raspberry Pi Foundation, the company responsible for the Raspberry Pi single-board computer range, has announced that it is releasing a desktop version of its Pixel operating system ...

The Raspberry Pi Pixel desktop experience is now available as an early version for x86-based Mac and Windows PCs.

The PIXEL desktop environment is basically a heavily modified version of LXDE with a bunch of Raspberry Pi-specific features included.

PIXEL (which is a clunky backronym for Pi Improved Xwindows Environment, Lightweight) is an extensively modified version of the LXDE X11 desktop environment.

What I haven't done yet is look at the latest version of the Raspberry Pi Foundation's own Linux distribution, Raspbian with their PIXEL desktop.

The Raspbian operating system for the Raspberry Pi board just received a visual upgrade called PIXEL. It provides a cleaner look along with a few new apps.

The PIXEL from Raspberry Pi stands for Pi Improved Xwindows Environment, Ligthweight and it's a heavily customized version of the LXDE X11 desktop environment.

The Raspberry Pi Foundation has released a PIXEL version that can be downloaded to PC and Mac computer models. This will allow old and slow computers to have a working operating system.
