I didn't realise how much until I tried a fresh install on a Pi 5.

I cannot believe all the carp I am seeing here.

Thank you for your eloquent debate.

When bookworm came out, I did a fresh install on a pi4 - all good except
for a minor glitch with Wayland. Soon fixed and it runs well.

When pi5 arrived, I copied to a USB SSD - all well from day 1. When I
got an Argon ONE V3, with their NVME board it took a couple of goes, but
with some help from the Raspberry forum it was soon well. Sill good now!

Well bravo, it worked for you.

Some of us are running fleets of dozens of Raspberry Pi's of multiple
generations, and having an OS upgrade required by the latest Pi model
which works very different in respect to networking and video, is a
massive pain in the arse.

The options are to push the OS upgrade to all machines and change the
way of working, or find out how to make the new Pi work consistently
with rest of the fleet - which is what I have opted for.
