      Is there any reason to update firmware on rpi?

        Yep, booting from USB or network was not included in the initial boot firmware. If you want those features when they're available you'll have to update the boot firmware.

          Overclocking. You need a newer firmware to overclock to 2GHz reliably.

            I think the new firmware will help to reduce the cpu temperature considerably with many other enhancements.
            The Raspbian is a wonderful OS that it is very stable and very much fine-tuned to overcome the limitations of the hardware.

              Is Raspbian still needed in 2019 with Raspberry Pi 4 and Linux kernel 5.3?
              Can't we just run normal distributions such as Debian, Fedora, Ubuntu, etc without having these special purpose Raspberry distributions?

                See https://wiki.debian.org/RaspberryPi. RPi4 is still rather new, so no upstream Kernel support just yet, but sooner or later we should get there...

                  Arch Linux works well:
                  uname -a: Arch Linux 5.3.1-1-ARCH #1 SMP Sat Sep 21 15:09:05 UTC 2019 aarch64 GNU/Linux
                  https://archlinuxarm.org/platforms/a...raspberry-pi-4

                  Fedora 31 is said to include support for RPi4, currently only RPi2 and RPi3.

                    Looks like it also needs a special-purpose Raspberry-specific build.


                    It would be cool if it could just run on a normal build, like x86 build runs on all x86 computers, doesn't matter if its Intel or AMD, or if its Asus, MSI or Gigabyte, if its Pentium, Celeron, Atom, Athlon, Core, Xeon, Epyc or Ryzen.
