Hier einmal eine "kleine" Übersicht über die vom Raspberry Pi Imager angebotene Auswahl an Betriebssystemen.
Zu Beginn fragt der Imager ja den Typ des Raspberry Pi ab, für den die SD-Karte erstellt werden soll. Daraus ermittelt er die möglichen Betriebssysteme (-Versionen) und auch das empfohlene Betriebssystem. Dazu verwendet er die unten aufgelisteten "Etiketten" (tags).
Diese Liste habe ich aus der aktuellen JSON-Datei ermittelt, die der Imager intern nutzt.
