!= means ‘is not equal to’
There are different Linux version for different processor architectures. Every architecture can run operating systems that are written for it. You don’t have to run Linux on an Rpi. You can also run RiscOS. And in the near future Windows 10. And maybe Android will be ported to the RPi2…. if someone wants to do that.
Retropie is Linux.
The hardware is not based on any operating system, the operating systems are written for the hardware.
