I use it on my pi400 running rpios Bookworm. Easier to install things like Okular and other apps without installing all of the overhead of KDE/Gnome. Counting the necessary kde/gnome libs I currently have 33 flatpaks installed.

raspberry pi os + Debian Sid. Been using the same install with daily updates for 3 yrs.

Does it have a SD card slot, and if so can it take a 256GB card? 26k epubs and pdfs. Who pays for books?

craigevil, 6 months ago

that is the same bs rpios says with every release. most likely they just don’t want the forum with a bunch of people having ods issues.

I installed rpios on my pi400 three yrs ago then changed the Debian repos to Sid and updated. Been doing apt upgrade ever since with no problems.

In the USA shoplifting is up because most states no longer prosecute. Which is also the reason a lot of retailers have or are in the process of closing stores in big cities. Had a friend that worked at Riteaid, once a week several women would come in with trash bags and empty the makeup section. Even with them on video nothing came on it.
