I cannot believe all the carp I am seeing here.

When bookworm came out, I did a fresh install on a pi4 - all good except
for a minor glitch with Wayland. Soon fixed and it runs well.

When pi5 arrived, I copied to a USB SSD - all well from day 1. When I
got an Argon ONE V3, with their NVME board it took a couple of goes, but
with some help from the Raspberry forum it was soon well. Sill good now!
