Good question. It seems like Debian has been speeding up a bit. The software is still a bit older, but it’s not too far behind compared to some other Debian releases. I switched and it’s been rock solid, despite me running a Trixie Backports system.

Agreed! Though give me the backports any day.

That’s definitely a possibility, depending on the year and make. Now you’ve given me something to think about.

I bought a used Chevy Bolt, then disconnected the antenna to put a dummy load on the OnStar transmitter. Never told it my Wi-Fi password. It can’t connect to the Internet unless I park it next to a cell tower, unless I pay for OnStar, which I refuse to do. I only use CarPlay so it can’t even hope to use my phone’s Bluetooth tethering (not that it seems capable).

Fortunately, Chevy’s only OTA infotainment update was to remove the video player, so I’m not missing much. Unplug the power cord and drive.
