There is a wealth of Linux software available directly on the Raspberry Pi itself. By default, Raspbian comes installed with the most commonly used applications. If you need to install something else, use the "Add / Remove Software" application. You can also use the `apt` command - see [APT](../linux/software/apt.md). Linux software binaries available elsewhere are usually compiled for the x86 and x64 architectures, so cannot be used on the Raspberry Pi since it uses the ARM architecture. However, if the source code is available, you can compile an ARM-specific version yourself.

No. Most models of Raspberry Pi lack the minimum memory and CPU requirements to support Windows 8 ARM edition. The Raspberry Pi also lacks the appropriate axis sensors, and there are many other limiting factors which mean that running Windows 8 Arm edition is not possible.

Raspberry Pi themselves do not support the consumer version of Android that you may be familiar with from your mobile phone. There are community efforts to make a version available that can be found online.
