<\/p>\n

The folks over at Raspberry Pi have just announced<\/a>\u00a0that PIXEL\/Raspbian is now available for x86 machines. This means that you can now run the new desktop environment on a regular PC or Mac.\u00a0You can download it here<\/a>\u00a0as a live-booting ISO image. It will also be available tomorrow on the front of The MagPi, so if you want to wait until you have physical media in your hands, you can! The only things it doesn’t include are Mathematica and Minecraft Pi Edition (for reasons of licencing). So, if you want a unified experience across all your machines, this is the way to go!<\/p>\n
