Raspbian-based OSes like [pipaOS](http://pipaos.mitako.eu/) should also work, but this is not tested by the project's current developers.

The project's primary maintainer does occasionally build the software on his Ubuntu laptop as well. It works fine as long as you're not using any of the features that require the PiDP-8/I front panel hardware.


# Non-Debian Linuxes

Non-Debian type Linux based OSes like [openSuSE for the Pi 3](https://en.opensuse.org/HCL:Raspberry_Pi3) or [CentOS for the Pi 3](https://wiki.centos.org/SpecialInterestGroup/AltArch/Arm32/RaspberryPi3) are likely to require local workaround to get them working with the software.
Even more likely to require local workarounds are non-Debian type Linux based OSes like [openSuSE](https://en.opensuse.org/HCL:Raspberry_Pi3) or [CentOS](https://wiki.centos.org/SpecialInterestGroup/AltArch/Arm32/RaspberryPi3).

If you manage it, we would be happy to examine your [patches](/doc/trunk/HACKERS.md) for possible inclusion in the next version of the software.

At the time of this writing, no one has attempted to run the PiDP-8/I software on such OSes. We welcome your [bug reports](https://tangentsoft.com/pidp8i/bugs) or discussion on the [mailing list](https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/pidp-8).
If you try it and fail, we would still welcome your [bug reports](https://tangentsoft.com/pidp8i/bugs) or discussion on the [mailing list](https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/pidp-8).


# macOS

The PiDP-8/I software is frequently built and tested on macOS while its primary maintainer is working on features that do not require the PiDP-8/I front panel hardware. (Why? Because it builds 3-12 times faster than on a Pi 3, depending on what has to be built!)
