wait from what i understand. its easier to downgrade? what risks will i be running to do this?

oops.se

Correct. The risk is that Bullseye isn't actively developed any more, so no bug or new features. The other way is to ask for new drivers from the seller to make that they are aware that the current is obsolete!

ok so lets say. i would downgrade to bullseye/buster. which would you go for the pi zero 2w and is there a way that i can port over new features to the older software
