A RPi 3B that would be Linux, but then CHIRP was born on Linux,
Windows came later... It is Python based. So if Bill is running
it on and RPi it is most likely Linux. Windows does not do so
good on small machines. 

I do the same thing, i run CHIRP on an RPi. I got me a RPi 400
which is the RPi in a keyboard. That was one of the reasons.

Now if we can just get the DMR radios to talk Linux that will be
all I want.

I read through everything I could. I’m tech savvy but know nothing about Ham Radios. I don’t want him to purchase a computer that he can’t download and run CHIRP on. Thank you!
