Lorgo NumputzToday we answer the question:
Can a Raspberry Pi 1B be upgraded to run Debian 13 - and still be usable?

What do you do with it? Running a fully fledged desktop on it was never really usable. For less demanding tasks I would not expect any difference in speed compared to previous Debian versions.

I used to use them as a backup host (with attached, externally powered USB drive) and a local host for development.
Currently my 2 1B's serve as a keepalived active/passive pair that handle our DHCP and DNS; they also watch for power events and put up a signal to shut down to other hosts on that network.
I pretty much never touch them; it's been pretty nice. All DNS/DHCP updates are done via Git.
