Are this almost identical to the rpi so I can install rpi OS?

No, these are microcontrollers. They're the thing you'd put inside a device that needs a tiny bit of smarts, like Raspberry Pi's debug probe[0]. The case I have for my RPi5[1] uses an rp2040 to run the thermal management logic.

The Pico and Pico 2 are micro-controllers, not SBCs like the other Raspberry Pis.
