   There is nothing wrong with Bookworm, you can set it up to work in an   
   identical way to Bullseye and it's predecessors. The problem is the   
   default set up of clean install of Raspberry PI OS's Bookworm is very   
   different to what has has before, and takes quiet a bit of know how to   
   change it back. I found it easier to go against advice and upgrade from   
   a working Bullseye, rather than workout that out.

   Other OS's aimed at the Pi are getting better, but Raspberry Pi OS still   
   has the most optimisation on the Pi4 and earlier. It would be very   
   interesting to see where things stand on the much faster Pi 5, where   
   such optimisations may not be so important.
