Search terms: stretch legacysorry, as already stated I have no idea what you mean for what I have to search for - not only pi-apps can't be installed but neither chocolate doom or anything... can you please link to a page how to install either common apps on my older Stretch using apt-install like most apps require?As I mentioned in a previous post, the Stretch packages are no longer in the main repository (this takes up space on many servers, which costs money to provide). It has been moved to a "legacy" server. If you search the forums you will find (very) old posts telling you what you need to do to access it. No promises that you'll be able to use pi-apps with it as that may depend on newer versions of some software.
You should be able to find an announcement about Stretch. It will say you need to change the line(s) in /etc/apt/sources.list (or a file in /etc/apt/sources.list.d/) where it mentions "raspbian". Then apt-get update and apt will work again.
Bookworm will be current for another year or so. Then comes Trixie. Whether there will be an easy upgrade from one to the other, I don't know. It may be that all the big changes have been done and it will be simple.Probably I would choose Bookworm as a new OS to be on the most future-proof side...
