I think I finally reached a point where I Have to completely reinstall my RPi.

Running Raspbian, I was under the impression their kernel releases worked the same way a pure Debian release worked - That the kernel was somewhere in the system repository.

Turns out it was, but in a different pool. And also turns out the new kernel and initramfs won't fit into my /boot as, for some reason, it is under 50 MBs in size. I dunno why, but I don't have any unallocated space left to grow the partition...

I have no idea why the boot is so small (Probably because, when I was setting the system up, I wasn't really that good with Linux yet, and just went with defaults).

What do you guys think - Is it better to run the native Raspbian system (Formerly RaspberryPi OS), or go with a pureblood Debian for Arm? (Yes, I already checked, my HW revision [3B+] is already compatible])

    I'd really love to get my hands one one raspberry pi before I die.

    with this kind of hardware i guess you're probably limited to just the OS that gets the job done, I'll suggest you look at this list as I dont know what you use your pi for but it seems to cover a list of distros that support arm and a shallow overview of pros and cons
