If you have a Raspberry Pi, you can run ZynthianOS by just flashing the image and booting. You can also run Zynthian headless on your own RaspberryPi, should you have one available:

ZynthianOS can be configured with external MIDI controllers for the menus, etc. That might be a bit of work, but its definitely worth the effort, because ZynthianOS is just amaze-balls. NORNS too, its just astonishing the power in these little distros.

As well as the original Zynthian, I also have Zynthian running on one of these:

.. with a touch-pad, and its just such a tidy, neat system. I look forward to this particular flavour of machine becoming much more prevalent in the MI world ..
