As of August 2017, the best to use is Sugar on a Stick, as it has many activities and has regular security updates. Sugar on a Stick is a spin of Fedora.
Other methods are using Fedora, Debian and Ubuntu.
Developers may focus on either Fedora or Debian when setting up a development environment for Sugar on Raspberry Pi, because Sugar development on generic computers is focused on those operating systems.
== How to use Sugar on a Stick (SOAS) on a Raspberry Pi ==
- on another computer, visit [https://arm.fedoraproject.org arm.fedoraproject.org] and download the Sugar on a Stick image,
- write the image to a microSD card, using software such as Fedora Media Writer, Etcher.io, or the [https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Architectures/ARM/Raspberry_Pi Fedora Raspberry Pi Documentation], or [https://unetbootin.github.io/ UNetBootin]
- insert the microSD card into the Raspberry Pi, and turn it on,
- answer the post-install questions; time zone, root password, and add a user,
- at the login prompt log in with the added user, and Sugar will start.
=== Security Warning ===
Remote access is pre-enabled through SSH, for both root and any user accounts. Risk can be reduced by choosing strong passwords in the post-install setup questions. Can be fixed after install with Terminal command;
<nowiki>
sudo chkconfig sshd off
</nowiki>
=== Security Updates ===
Security updates can be downloaded with Terminal command;
<nowiki>
sudo dnf update
</nowiki>
=== Fedora Media Writer ===
How to write an image to microSD card using [https://github.com/MartinBriza/MediaWriter/releases Fedora Media Writer (FMW)], which is available for Mac OS X, Microsoft Windows, Fedora Linux, and Ubuntu Linux as a flatpak, or from source.
- download the raw.xz file
- select and extract, result is a raw file
- start Fedora Media Writer
- select "Custom"
- select the raw file
- Insert microSD in Mini Card Reader and insert in USB port
- Choose rpi3 from drop-down in Fedora Media Writer
- Write microSD
