I'm looking for a light weight OS for my Pi 3 with the GUI/desktop. I'm looking at programming various sensors with Circuit_Python and Flask if possible.
Stretch was the last OS I used that ran well, updating the packages is now a problem. I tried Buster, similar problem, and slow. I'm currently running Bullseye and updating packages is slightly better, still hit and miss, and it runs slow as hell.
I have 16GB SD cards, So what would you recommend 32 or 64 bit and which OS for a Pi 3 B?
