RedSleeve is sticking with arm32 for now, though it is soft-float only at the moment. There was a recent conversation about finally dropping ARMv5 support because some of the more critical packages for desktop use will no longer build on ARMv5.

So far, nothing commercial is priced right and does what little I need. So Centos8 with Webmin seemed likely. But the above article says that Centos8 is already past EoL!

I can’t find it right now, but there was a long post from one of the senior ARM people at RedHat a couple of years ago talking about how making an arm32 port was going to be effectively impossible starting with RHEL-8, due to changes in the way system configurations were managed in the kernel. > > Assuming that those changes actually happened (haven’t looked, all of my production workloads are still on RedSleeve 7), that would seem to leave only Debian and its various derivatives —e.g. Raspbian— for arm32, with all of the volatility that that implies.
