Great news indeed - though it looks like we're still committed to Raspbian?
As much as I love the work the guys behind that have done, is the move to a native Debian distro for this architecture hamstrung by specifications, or something else?
- Narishma 11y agoI think it's more that they want to have a single distribution that works on all Pi models.
- makomk 11y agoAs far as I know, the main thing hamstringing native Debian support is that the binary blob required to boot any of the Pi's is not DFSG-compliant so Debian won't ship images for the Pi. The second biggest thing is that you still need a custom non-mainline kernel.
- flowless 11y agoKernel support improved a lot and we now have https://pignus.computer/ https://pignus.computer/ running mainline kernel. Graphics and camera support are still missing but we'll eventually get there with 4.5 kernel.
