awesome-raspberry-pi is a curated collection of links, tools, projects, operating system images, and resources related to the Raspberry Pi, a series of small, affordable, credit card-sized single-board computers (tiny computers on a single circuit board) originally developed in the UK to teach computer science in schools. The list covers every consumer model from the original 2012 Pi to the Raspberry Pi 5 and Pico variants released through 2025. The repository itself contains no runnable code, it is a reference list. It is organized into categories: hardware models, operating system images (ready-to-run software environments you flash onto an SD card), tools, projects, and educational resources. The OS images section alone lists dozens of options, from general-purpose distributions like Debian and Fedora to specialized ones for home automation, retro gaming, video surveillance, 3D printer control, audio streaming, and security testing. You would use this list when you have a Raspberry Pi and want to discover what software you can run on it, find inspiration for projects, or look up tools for a specific use case. It is also useful as a starting point if you are new to the Raspberry Pi ecosystem and want to understand what is available. The repository is part of the "awesome" list ecosystem, a community convention for curated GitHub link collections. The full README is longer than what was provided.
