I have not yet gotten my raspberry pi but would like to familiarize myself with the Linux environment and Raspian Operating System. Is there such a thing as a software simulator that can simulate the Raspberry Pi operating systems in Windows?

EDIT This question is different because it focuses on QEMU.

Solution

There certainly is. QEMU is a free simulator that can run Raspbian or any other operating system on Windows. It might be helpful to point out that apt-get does not work how it comes. You can run it on a guest computer because it does not need to be installed and you can learn Linux and Raspbian.

Tips

  1. When you download, run the .bat file.
  2. Password is "raspberry" of course.
  3. To get to GUI and Desktop enter "startx".
  4. Make sure to shut the simulator down correctly just like on a real Pi.
