Thanks Tixy, Ill try that. In summary, I found debian buster with
gnome on rpi4 to be good enough for everyday browsing, online banking
and shopping, etc. Its not for gamers, and there are issues with some
things.
For example I installed wxMaxima as a replacement for REDUCE and while
my script ran correctly, It reported a Lisp error, a condition in PROGN
that I haven't figured out yet. I also tried to run an application I
wrote that uses meson and ninja, and I got a message that implied
libgtkmm-3.0 has a different path on ARM. Instead of
/usr/lib/x86-64-linux-gnu/, it is under /usr/lib/aarch64-linux-gnu/.
Next I am going to try the tested Bullseye image to see how things have
changed.

Yesterday I had good luck with LibreCAD, did a nice drawing without any

either.
That's weird. I'd expect `subversion` to be in Debian and to compile
for ARM without any particular problem.
Looks like it's available for arm64 architecture since Stretch...
