Hello, media community! Which operating systems are supported on the Raspberry Pi 2 W? If anyone has tried different ones, please share your suggestions. I’m exploring options to build on top of the OS and am considering the following: Raspberry Pi OS Ubuntu DietPi RetroPie Arch Linux Gentoo Let me know if you’ve tried any of these or have other recommendations. Your input would be greatly appreciated!

it totally depends on the use case. it'll be great if you could expand on that. I have worked with pi os, base debian , and arch(highly unstable) on pi. for example if you need a GUI and the pi will be connected to a display. i suggest go with pi os. if you require no display and stabilty, then go with debian base and ssh will do just fine. if you are going for low power consumption arch is the way to go as you can opt out of core functionality if you don't need it and strip the os to your custom needs. All the best.
