Raspian was dropped and the current Raspberry Pi OS is Debian Bookworm 
based. There are other options but the Pi I bought came with the Pi OS on 
a microSSD and I saw no reason to get another. Some have even tried 
Windows 11 on the Pi 5 and it sort of works. Ubuntu is another popular 
distro but that's a Debian derivative.

Sort of surprising when I did the apt update/upgrade on the Pi yesterday I 
got the October VS Code release, 1.95 and when I update the Fedora box 
I'll get it. It's a snap on Ubuntu and still 1.93.1.

I haven't went to Ubuntu 24 so maybe that has the newer snap.
