or switch to Debian, where release upgrades aren't rolled out until they work, and major programs which lots of people use are still in the repos.

Rules
While we are not an official Mozilla community, we have adopted the Mozilla Community Participation Guidelines as far as it can be applied to a bin.
Rules
-
Always be civil and respectful
Don't be toxic, hostile, or a troll, especially towards Mozilla employees. This includes gratuitous use of profanity. -
Don't be a bigot
No form of bigotry will be tolerated. -
Don't post security compromising suggestions
If you do, include an obvious and clear warning. -
Don't post conspiracy theories
Especially ones about nefarious intentions or funding. If you're concerned: Ask. Please don’t fuel conspiracy thinking here. Don’t try to spread FUD, especially against reliable privacy-enhancing software. Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence. Show credible sources. -
Don't accuse others of shilling
Send honest concerns to the moderators and/or admins, and we will investigate. -
Do not remove your help posts after they receive replies
Half the point of asking questions in a public sub is so that everyone can benefit from the answers—which is impossible if you go deleting everything behind yourself once you've gotten yours.
@superkret@feddit.org Having installed Debian bookworm in a raspberry pi recently, the stable Debian release isn't without its warts unfortunately.
The Pi boots from the GPU using a proprietary firmware blob, so it can't be supported by the Debian core team.
Is there a reason you aren't using Raspberry Pi OS, which is a Debian specifically adapted to the hardware?
@superkret@feddit.org Oh I did choose the suggested OS, but lsb_release -a says "Debian GNU/Linux 12 (bookworm)" ...
Still, RaspberryPI OS isn't maintained by the Debian team.
And the team that does maintain it didn't even bother to edit the release file.
@superkret@feddit.org Yikes.
Or switch to any rolling-release distro which won't have major updates to begin with.
That said: Ubuntu 24.04.1 works very well. Feels faster than the prior long-term stable release (22.04.3) in the same laptop; perhaps it's the graphics which seem snappier.
