   I agree the latest Bookworm is not set up the way I want it. I don't   
   want Wayland or Network Manager, and I do want Xorg and rsyslog.

   My set up has been migrated from whatever was on the very first 256MB Pi   
   (Stretch?) all the way through to Bullseye on the Pi 4B. With a not   
   quite in place 32 bit to 64 bit Bullseye upgrade, I was then able to in   
   place upgrade to 64 bit Bookworm, and transfer to the Pi 5 - but   
   successfully keeping everything set up identically to how it was previously.   
      
   If that option hadn't worked, I'd definitely be looking for alternate   
   distros.

   Thing is because I always in place upgraded, I didn't notice when the   
   rot had set in, and was horrified at the changes that had been made when   
   I initially did a clean install of Bookworm for the Pi 5.
