That resonates with me. For an OS that traces its heritage directly to Debian, it sure feels different and not in a good way. The 64 bit variant pulls directly from Debian repos.

I don't share your disdain for ARM but of course my desktop is an AMD Ryzen and my primary server, a Xeon.

I think I'd like an ARM host with decent performance and proper I/O for a server.

Replacing my #raspberrypi 4B server with a #thinkcentre m93p.

The #thinkcentre has more ram, a 512 GB #sdd and can handle external drives far better than the #raspberry does.

Finally, also lucky to get rid of #rasberrypios in favor of #debian and #arm in favor of #amd64 .

I think I will first migrate #apache2 with #nextcloud, and then the E-Mail server (#postfix & #dovecot) in a second step.

The latter is probably more difficult.

Now on #trixie. The raspberry still runs a 32bit version of the raspberrypios, so a new installation was necessary sooner or later, anyway.

Took this as the occasion to also replace the hardware with something better.

And yes, OFC some #minimalist #linux-#distro like #TinyCore also runs fine on it, which isn't a surprise given that it's a 20MB ISO and a 512MB RAM, of which 8MB are per default occupied for VRAM aka. the #i915GML's framebuffer.

Needless to say I've to see if @bunsenlabs even runs on this thing and I know that anything #64bit is a complete non-starter as it's just an #i586 / #ix86 machine, so any supported mainstream distro is a nope.

Most likely #RasberryPiOS is the most up-to-date option with the biggest user community AFAICT...
