The default kernel is whatever is in Bookworm. You need to wait for Trixie to get a later kernel (6.12 I think) The debian installer gets the kernel version from the host PC when its built.

Not sure, but i think RT 6.8.n was installed last i used Debian 12, so ....

Sounds about right for Bookworm.

Trixie for ARM might be an issue as libgpiod version Trixie uses will require some effort with the hal_gpio driver, maybe a rewrite.
Andy is the expert on this, pretty sure he made a note of this some time ago.
Apart from that the ARM image is fine.

Another thing to think of, what happens when X11 support is dropped in favour of Wayland ?
The GUIs that rely on X11 libs.

Tho it received no interest apart from 2 forum members I managed to build a Devuan ARM image, no systemd and their CoC is fair to all, basically just don't be a dick to anyone.

The devs are aware of this. There are some Wayland settings to work around it.
