I am surprised to find that an apt update/upgrade does so many updates on a new install. I am seeing pages and pages of updates, over 1000 lines, taking more than half an hour. I installed the Raspberry Pi OS using the Raspberry Pi Imager application. Does that not download the latest version when it goes to flash an OS?

Yeah, but the "latest" (latest RPi OS) is generated by "The Raspberries". I've noticed the same thing, and I run the "Lite" distro. I also think that much of the efforts at Debian (and maybe "The Raspberries") is being spent on preparing for the next release of Debian - which will probably happen later this year. – Seamus Apr 07 '25 at 20:31

Perhaps the "latest version" is the latest point release, i.e. currently 12.10 - which was 3 weeks ago – Bravo Apr 07 '25 at 21:20

Why do you want to perform a fresh install? When did you last update? There have been a large number of significant updates over the last few weeks. – Milliways Apr 07 '25 at 22:32

I did a fresh install for a new Pi on a new SD card. – Mark Adler Apr 08 '25 at 03:26

The latest Raspberry Pi OS 64 bit image is from November last year.
Presumably this will be updated when Raspberry Pi Ltd. fixes the bugs in kernel 6.12
