Raspbian/Raspberry Pi OS is tuned to the hardware. It’s taken the one guy doing this a long time to reach this point. First you start with baseline Debian; if you cat /etc/os-release you’ll see it’s based on Debian GNU/Linux 11 (bullseye). Then pick a light-weight graphical desktop to base your desktop on, such as LXDE (lxde.org), not the Gnome desktop.

All that care in preparation seems to be missing elsewhere. It seems to me is that all the other distributions want to do is check the “runs on Raspberry Pi” checkbox. I can’t believe all the other distributions are more than just cursorily tested before these other distributions are sent out into the world.

Maybe I’m too far out of it to understand anymore, and just glad my 12-year-old laptop can still crank along in Linux.
