It's based enough on Raspian which like Henry's line WRT 4.2, is just like Debian only different.  Frankly, dealing with those issues when you leave the fold is a huge PITA.  The problem for me, I really don't have a choice as I can not run a *BSD on them easily to do what I want to do - which is typically to control HW (like my PiDP's or a some "homecontrol" stuff I have).

(at least) FreeBSD works on Pis (though support will usually lag or be non-existent for various "HATs"). And plan9 has worked for much longer, not to mention it's more flexible. Both have gpio drivers. Writing drivers for plan9 should be far easier.
