Why wouldn't you just use stock Debian? The first rpi used a weird CPU, which didn't map well to the CPUs supported by the stock OSs, but that hasn't been true since that very first one.
heh, because normal linux distros are finally somewhat usable with the rpi 5, let alone the older versions. neat little headless servers? sure. capable desktops, not quite there yet.
Lots of people have been using these systems on their desktops for decades. This meme really needs to die.
