Raspberry Pi OS is built on top of Debian, so I'm not sure that argument really holds.

Open source != documentation.

Most notably, the Linux kernel runs on every Android smartphone/tablet SoC, but only a tiny fraction of them have public documentation.

This is a full OS. It has man pages, and a lot of built in docs too. Have you used raspberry pi?

And btw, community is a bit factor with Linux. Anything you can't figure out is only typically a search away.

I'm not talking about man pages.

Has Broadcom released any more than a tiny subset of the documentation they have on the SoC?
