Is There a Tested OS List?

Ken

Other than the "officially" supported OSes with working GPIO libraries and the lot, is there a list of other OSes that have been installed on the UP! Board?

Specifically I am wondering about Windows 8.1 as this board is pretty much design perfect for a Windows Media Center black box, a product that was dropped by Microsoft in Win10. As a WMC box there wouldn't be a huge requirement for the GPIO stuff, mostly it would just need to have functional USB2 and USB3, Ethernet, and HDMI with Audio. I know there is people running Kodi, however Kodi does not currently have any reliable means of viewing live DRM, cable card based, streams. WMC on 8.1 (...and 7 or 8) is still currently the only game in town, besides hacking the install onto 10 which runs a high risk of being wiped out by an update.

Also curious about whether anyone has tried FreeBSD or Solaris, I think I read somewhere on here that FreeBSD has been installed but with some installation intervention, and that OpenBSD has been installed straight out.

We should encourage everyone to share what they have tested, it would be a long list. :-)
Officially Intel support Windows 8.1 on Cherry Trail. It should be fine.
