Wow awesome post, you are clearly much more up to date than I am.

Is it true that Bookworm contains non free software in the default release? If so this is sad to hear.

Ive been in the Debian camp for a while now with Debian, Ubuntu, Mint, Raspbian etc. and I suffer with systemd maybe I made the wrong choice.

Since you seem very knowledgable I have a question. Why do so many, almost all distros use GNOME rather than KDE as their default DE? KDE has been around a long time, they are free and not heavily corporately sponsored and their product is at least equal or perhaps even better than GNOME. I never understood this.

Why was AAA cancelled?

I guess Debian had it right all along. Free and Open Source Software is important.
