bookworm vs trixie discussion for mobian in pinephone regular.
this is a discussion of bookworm vs trixie and maybe staging. so like possible problems and how to fix them. which one is better, and how well it works. here are some generic arguments. this is for pp regular, here is for pp pro https://forum.pine64.org/showthread.php?tid=18839 .
arguments for bookworm:
- stable.
- basics work.
- do not have dependency problems, or broken packages.
- smooth security updates.
arguments against bookworm:
- gets outdated.
- some features are missing, because pinephone is a beta product.
- stuck to the older kernel.
arguments for trixie:
- newer packages.
- features, which are missing in older versions.
- newer kernel, see serious point below.
arguments against trixie:
- dependency problems, broken packages.
- some thing do not work, because of unstable packages.
it seems that pipewire is required and default. package is "pipewire-audio".
practically speaking users should go for trixie, unless users can tolerate basic features. i recently updated to trixie, seems to be ok. but moving into trixie from bookworm wasn't straightforward though. pp regular is stuck to 6.1 kernel for now.
it seems that bluetooth mic does not work, headset seems to work.
i put more information when i encounter them.
