In light of private comments on bookworm's new "features" it
appears that I should set up a bookworm install and play with it
some. The existing Pi4 works very well under Bullseye, but it'll
get superceded at some point and I'll have to face Bookworm
eventually. In principle I like the idea of upgrading from X11,
though the actual experience may not be fun.....

One thing I hadn't considered until now is migrating away from
RasPiOS to something else. Are there any alternatives that offer
comparable support that will run on the Pi5? The biggest issue
for me is probably browser support, most other things I do are
in terminal windows running shells on FreeBSD hosts (also RPi,
but headless). I'm a less-bad admin with FreeBSD, but it does
not yet make use of the GPU on any Pi that I know of. AFAIK
FreeBSD can't yet boot on a Pi5.

Thanks for writing!
