    I wish they'd kept the brand name "Raspbian" (which hints at the Debian
    origin) rather than changing to the cumbersome "Raspberry Pi OS".

    Well I won't be using it. Pulse Audio is the killer for me.
    I build stand-alone soft synths with a Pi4 and for that I need Jack and Alsa. Added to that, just around the corner is pipewire, which is designed to replace/integrate with all three, and retains sample accurate performance.

    Probably want to tilt the branding in their favor and not allude to
    the fact that it's really a tweaked Debian base. Of course, by the
    time Debian 11/11.1 comes out, we should very likely be able to throw
    generic Debian 11 on it as an alternative to Raspberry PI OS. As fun
    as the Pi is, there's just not enough distro variety for it and having
    more exposure, I would think, would interest more users and developers
    to play with and improve it.

    When I simply update my headless server it still says Raspbian?!

    The more things change, the more they stay the same apparently.
