Pixel Run Mac OS
The screenshots following will be on a Mac OS X computer, but the same idea goes for Windows as well. Click a screenshot to expand. Get the Technic Launcher: This pack is used to install and play many modpacks easily, such as Tekkit, or Feed the Beast. Installing OS X on hardware that is not sold by Apple is difficult but not super difficult. An entire ‘ hackintosh ‘ community has grown up around the concept and is dedicated to providing the tools, custom drivers and kernel patches needed to run the OS on devices Apple would rather it didn’t.
The Raspberry Pi Foundation announced a new operating system for Mac and PC computers. It's called Debian + PIXEL.
The new software enables you to install a Raspberry Pi-like OS on your computer. It boots from a DVD, USB Thumb drive or inside a virtual environment.

Readers of The MagPi in print will get a free DVD with Debian + PIXEL attached. Look out for The MagPi 54 on sale Thursday 22 December.
The MagPi 54 also contains an in-depth feature looking at Debian + PIXEL. This feature has the following information:
- How to run Debian + PIXEL on a Mac or PC.
- Create a persistence drive to save your files.
- Create a Debian + PIXEL thumb drive to boot on any computer.
- Plus! Exclusive interview with Raspberry Pi co-founder Eben Upton.
Debian + PIXEL on a PC or Mac
With Debian + PIXEL you carry on using your regular operating system. But can boot into the coding environment when you want to experiment with coding, Linux or software development.
The OS has most of the software that comes with Raspbian. Like the Raspberry Pi, it's ideal for makers and coders.
Only n0w, you don't even need to buy Raspberry Pi hardware to discover the learning environment. It's also going to make life easier for code clubs and teachers.
It's a safe learning environment for experimentation. Learners can install software, create programs and play around. But the main operating system remains safe and sound.
'I guess the real questions is ‘why didn’t we do it earlier?’,” Eben told us. “People used to say to us things like: ‘why aren’t you doing software?’ and ‘everyone’s got a PC’.”
One thing that’s superb is “the curation,” explained Eben. Software like Flash, Chromium, Java, and LibreOffice requires a lot of effort to get on board. “It’s getting close to being the perfect environment for productivity and learning to code. “We’ve now got a piece of software that’s pretty interesting. The question became: ‘why are we forcing people to buy a Raspberry Pi to run it?’ “So we’ve come full circle,” Eben concludes. “We’re giving it a go to see if people like it.”
Bored of running Chrome OS on your Acer C720 Chromebook? Want to turn it into a ‘hackintosh’ Mac Laptop?
Well, now you can.
CoolstarOrg, a genius at getting other OSes up and running on Chrome OS hardware, has written a detailed guide on how owners of the Acer C720 can install Mac OS X 10.11 ‘El Capitan’ on their Chromebook.
A timely “hackintosh” report, all told. It was just over a year ago that we reported on CoolStar’s effort to get OS X 10.9 Mavericks up and running on an the exact same Chromebook.
Sure, there are caveats and practicality issues, but it’s a great case of “…because why not?”. Chromebooks are basic Intel-based PCs: they can run Linux, they can run Windows, so it’s no surprise that they can also run Mac OS X.

You will need an Acer C720 with an Intel Core i3-4005U and 4 GB RAM to follow along, as this chipset is the one most compatible with OS X (requiring only a few minor tweaks).
You’ll also need a a user-upgraded 64 GB (or higher) SSD and a legit copy of Mac OS X 10.11 El Capitan ready to boot from a USB.
Don’t expect miracles once you’ve jumped through the required hoops, either. Trackpad scrolling is described as “poor and choppy”, and hackintoshers report patchy Wi-Fi issues.
