It hasn't been Raspian for a long time. It is now Raspberry Pi OS

Wit the changes from Bullseye to Bookworm, Raspberry Pi engineers 
reckoned it was too easy to break the install, and did not want to 
support lots of broken installs where people do not have the skills to 
fix. If you have the skills, and a good backup, give it a try, but you 
won't get help from Raspberry Pi engineers
