Anyone have any experience or thoughts on using the RISC OS for RPi ?

I know Christopher Barnatt did a video on it this year:
It looked like the late eighties, early nineties all over again 😉
An OS for the Raspberry Pi that is only 120 MB? That's pretty interesting.
I wonder though what all it supports? I run all my RPis headless via remote desktop. So I wonder if it supports xrdp?
I also wonder it it would run Geany and Python?
Does it have support for RPi GPIO pins?
Finally, will it support file sharing on a network?
Lots of questions, so few answers.
At 120 MB for the OS it's really attractive. It even has a web browser. That's amazing. Being that it's so small I might try playing with it at some point. I'll have to get some 4GB SD cards so I don't need to copy large ones when backing up the system SD cards.

I will have to learn how to run my RPi headless as well.

If the OS doesn't support the software you require then it is useless.
A long time ago I was going to change from Windows to Linux only to discover there was no software at the time to easily access video from a webcam so I had to stay with Windows.
I see you can also run Android on a RPi.
