Today we answer the question:

Can a Raspberry Pi 1B be upgraded to run Debian 13 - and still be usable?

#Debian #raspberrypi #Trixie

@lorgonumputz Is this not a kernel thing rather than OS?

@tripplehelix

Truly; but, I also want the typical updates and patches as with my other systems (rather than maintaining a custom kernel on this system).

@lorgonumputz If the Pi 1b is supported by the latest kernel included in Trixie, then it won't have any new issues. Rasperry Pi still support 32 bit, so it should be fine. Slow, but fine.

@tripplehelix

Oh, yes. I can see that there are Trixie packages available.

"Is it suitable for this purpose?" is a different question :)
