Re: Pi4 to Pi5 migration

One thing I hadn't considered until now is migrating away from
RasPiOS to something else. Are there any alternatives that offer
comparable support that will run on the Pi5? The biggest issue
for me is probably browser support,

Mozilla are publishing ARM64 Firefox binaries for Linux now, so
that removes the main roadblock to running up-to-date Firefox on
other Linux distros that didn't compile it regularly themselves.

I use the PiCore version of Tiny Core Linux, which supports the
RPi 5. It certainly avoids all the excessive layers of complexity
in RPiOS (and I'm talking from when I gave up on that about four
years ago), though there is quite a lot that you need to set up
from scratch, and very limited packages available. Probably not
what you mean by "comparable support". Other alternative Linux
distros are likely better in those regards, maybe Arch Linux?
