Well, upgrading that to current Debian could be one way forward. There
are tools in Debian you can use to weed out the proprietary stuff if
that's a concern. Upgrades in Debian work in case you're unaware but
follow the release notes.

Not really. I had no luck installing Debian on my Raspberry Pi CM3+ with
a CM-IO-POE-BOX base board so I went with Ubuntu since it just worked.
With Debian I got nothing on the serial port. I think I asked on some
mailing list and then was adviced to ask on IRC but got nowhere. Nobody
seemed to have the same hardware. Could be something simple or not.
I guess, with a running Ubuntu I could convert it to Debian, I've done
such to a VPS running Ubuntu once. There were instructions to follow
though.
