 In light of private comments on bookworm's new "features" it
appears that I should set up a bookworm install and play with it
some. The existing Pi4 works very well under Bullseye, but it'll
get superceded at some point and I'll have to face Bookworm
eventually. In principle I like the idea of upgrading from X11,
though the actual experience may not be fun.....
 

   For what it's worth, I moved from Buster to Bookwrm on a
Pi4 recently. I really only use it for streaming movies. The
streaming services would no longer accept Firefox on Buster.
It maxed out at v. 92 if I remember correctly.
   I was pleasantly surprised. I couldn't tell you what's different.
It just runs quicker and feels more solid on the same hardware.
It's a pleasure to see an update require *less* resources. All I
care about is getting Netflix, Kanopy, PBS, etc in Firefox. Now
that's working better than ever.
