My advice to consider #security first when evaluating systems: https://changelog.complete.org/archives/10620-consider-security-first This is part of my decision to migrate my #RaspberryPi devices to running pure #Debian.
I have a new post: Live Migrating from #RaspberryPiOs #bullseye to #Debian #bookworm. https://changelog.complete.org/archives/10622-live-migrating-from-raspberry-pi-os-bullseye-to-debian-bookworm
I got annoyed that #Raspbian officially has no upgrade path, the security situation, the lag behind Debian, lack of backports, and lack of initramfs in its custom kernel. So I managed to live migrate some Pis to Debian.
@jgoerzen I had some performance issues with regular Debian on a #raspi compared to #RaspberryPiOS . It was a Pi Zero though, maybe the #debian armel port is not very well optimized for this particular CPU. Is #raspbian very different from RaspberryPiOS?
@smochi Yes, that is probably to be expected. I explained this a bit at https://changelog.complete.org/archives/10622-live-migrating-from-raspberry-pi-os-bullseye-to-debian-bookworm . Basically, Raspbian supports hardware floating point operations on those boards, but Debian armel doesn't (and Debian armhf assumes more CPU features than they have). That's part of the reason for Raspbian, to build packages optimized for those gen 0 & 1 boards. Pi 2 and above shouldn't have those degredations.
@jgoerzen Right, the ARM1176JZF-S has a VFP, but armhf requires armv7 and VFPv3-D16 at minimum. That's a real bummer.
