   No, I don't think there's any particular reason to prefer Trixie over    
   Bookworm if Bookworm works for you. Support for Debian "oldstable" is    
   usually pretty good from Debian (though I think the Raspberry Pi people    
   tend to concentrate on "stable", which would be Trixie at present).   
      
   Some third-party software works well with the RaspiOS that is current    
   when it is released, and may only slowly (if ever) be updated for newer    
   releases -- I'm thinking of support for some of Pimoroni's devices.   
      
   OTOH things like the Pi camera software is intended for "stable", and    
   newer features/cameras may not work at all with older distros.

   I'm not aware of any major differences in video support between distros.    
   There IS a difference in hardware video support between Pi4 and Pi5 (I    
   forget the details ... Pi4 has support for H.264 (and H.265?) but Pi5 -    
   being much faster - expects you to do it in software? Something like    
   that.). Of course, with a Pi5 you need a release that supports the Pi5,    
   and I think Bookworm is the minimum.

   Cheers,   
     Daniel.
