There is such a thing as the Raspberry Pi Foundation but they are an
educational charity. Pis are supplied by Raspberry Pi Ltd. Raspbian has
NOT been discontinued, it has simply been renamed Raspberry Pi OS. I
don't know who releases it, though it is released from teh Ltd company
website rather than the Foundation. Perhaps somebody else knows more
detail.
Nope that is just wrong.

Welcome to Raspbian
Raspbian is a free operating system based on Debian optimized for the
Raspberry Pi hardware. An operating system is the set of basic programs
and utilities that make your Raspberry Pi run. However, Raspbian
provides more than a pure OS: it comes with over 35,000 packages,
pre-compiled software bundled in a nice format for easy installation on
your Raspberry Pi.
The initial build of over 35,000 Raspbian packages, optimized for best
performance on the Raspberry Pi, was completed in June of 2012. However,
Raspbian is still under active development with an emphasis on improving
the stability and performance of as many Debian packages as possible.
Note: Raspbian is not affiliated with the Raspberry Pi Foundation.
Raspbian was created by a small, dedicated team of developers that are
fans of the Raspberry Pi hardware, the educational goals of the
Raspberry Pi Foundation and, of course, the Debian Project.
Why are you trying to tell someone that has used raspberry pi since the
original pi came out things that are just not true.
I also build custom OS for the raspberry pi platform and I am well
versed with them. I have approx a dozen of them from rpi to rpi 5
I have used them for servers on the network including the original pi.
Yes I am aware of theis in the foundation page:
Your Raspberry Pi needs an operating system to work. This is it.
Raspberry Pi OS (previously called Raspbian) is our official supported
operating system.
The new OS called Raspberry Pi OS is a new animal. The foundation used
raspian and the the Raspberry Pi OS is the foundations, developed by the
foundation.
Just one huge problem with all this, the NIH syndrome rules supreme as
far as your forum is concerned, I asked about a realtime kernel 3 times
so I could run linuxcnc on an rpi3b many years ago. Some body took
umbrage and I have been blackholed from posting to the forum since,
about 6 or 7 years ago. But I managed to get a realtime 4.19 built and
ran it for quite sometime, 6 years, 2 on the rpi3b, now 4 years on a 4b.
After I figured out how to install it. Uptimes in years from my method.
The forum supports music video to the near exclusion of a heck of a lot
of other stuff the pi can do. So when I got into 3d printers, it was on
bananapi-m5's running armbian. Support by Igor and friends has been so
good I throw a $20 bill in the armbian kitty every month. TANSTAAFL
folks. Natures only 100% true law.
