Has anyone tried this yet? I don't have any desktop Pi's at this house.

[e]Wait I forgot one of my HA panels is a pi 4 ill update and report back. I'm especially interested in the touchscreen support being improved.

it looks like labwc isn't installed by default on older installs. My debian 11 install is all bjorked but thankfully its just a kiosk so I am reinstalling with 12 now.

Update?

Back up and running without any fuss. I think all the packages are installed by default in a new flash so all I needed to do was select labwc in the raspi-config menu.
