It’s a lightweight distribution, easy to install, which will do the job perfectly. OSMC is a free and open-source distribution, dedicated to media center hosting. To create our media center, we’ll use OSMC as our Linux distribution for this project. Linux is an operating system (like Windows or macOS) that you can find in several variants (called distributions). The Raspberry Pi runs mainly Linux distributions.
