What do we do with questions about the RPi OS for PC/MacRPi OS for PC/Mac? On one hand, it's not designed to run on the RPi, so the natural reaction is to close questions about it as off-topic and point users to Unix.SE if appropriate (RPi OS is essentially Debian). On the other hand, that OS shares a lot of settings/features with Raspbian, and I can imagine it will be mostly used by RPi users who want to have a common environment on RPi and PC/Mac, or as a software testing platform, so we might want to support it.

Thoughts?
