Re: Debian and Raspberry Pi4 (was: Slic3r --gui won't run).

[Andrew Cater <amacater@gmail.com>]

https://raspi.debian.net/tested-images/ - there's at least one image there for the 4GB Raspberry Pi 4 from Gunnar Wolf - but note that this is still a work in progress. It's certainly possible: other folk have got this to boot using experimental UEFI - it's there such that you don't _have_ to use Raspberry Pi OS any more.

Because, strictly speaking, *Debian* buster cannot run at Raspberry
Pi 4 at all - see [1]. There's some big progress with sid, though - [2].

The short and the long of it is that Gene is using *Raspbian*, but
prefers to get help about it here.

One could get away with Raspbian kernel and Debian chroot, I suppose, but
that's cheating.
