Yik. However on reflection all my Zeros are employed running fixed
applications that will never change.
Which rather calls into question why they need `support` at all.
Getting hard to buy a non version 2 zero as well, my latest one is
Cortex-A53...
In short they run what they run, and if you want a desktop dont use a
zero or a Pi 2B...
