Question 20
Students must run a Linux desktop on Raspberry Pi single-board computers with ARM-based processors. One student proposes Install a supported Raspberry Pi OS image for the Pi hardware and another proposes Launch a Linux virtual-machine image from a cloud provider. Which technical comparison is the soundest?
Explanation
Correct Answer
Correct distinction: Install a supported Raspberry Pi OS image for the Pi hardware targets Raspberry Pi OS hardware fit; Raspberry Pi OS supplies a Linux distribution and builds intended for Raspberry Pi devices. The compared alternative instead serves cloud Linux image provisioning.
Incorrect Answers
Incorrect mapping: Launch a Linux virtual-machine image from a cloud provider is used for cloud Linux image provisioning. It does not displace Install a supported Raspberry Pi OS image for the Pi hardware for the described requirement.
The mechanisms are different: Raspberry Pi OS supplies a Linux distribution and builds intended for Raspberry Pi devices. By contrast, A cloud instance provisions compute resources and boots the selected Linux image on virtualized infrastructure. They are not universally interchangeable.
The third option addresses Debian package ecosystem: APT manages repository packages and dependency resolution in Debian-family distributions. The original action remains relevant because Raspberry Pi OS supplies a Linux distribution and builds intended for Raspberry Pi devices.
