Setting up the OS is similar and pretty straightforward in Raspberry Pi 3/4. Raspberry Pi supports a list of OSes due to its popularity and application intention. In this book, we'll learn how to set up the commonly used OSes for robotics—Raspbian and Ubuntu MATE. First, let's look at the prerequisites.

To set up any OS on this SBC, you will need the following hardware components:
- An SD card
- Rated power supply
- Optional case (to avoid electrostatic contact)
In terms of software requirements, assuming you're on your Ubuntu laptop, you would need an open source OS image writer called Etcher. You can download it from this website: https://www.balena.io/etcher...
