There’s also Armbian (www.armbian.com/rpi4b/) but only Ubuntu based right now.
There multiple issues with mainline Debian on those boards and while I would love to run it, it doesn’t cut it. Generic images might underperform in your board, the GPIO and other low level components will, most likely, not work and you might burn your storage as logging and other I/O intensive operations aren’t tweaked for SD cards. Another annoying thing is that the Debian image will
Armbian could be a great solution however there has been not much interest in the RPi board most likely due to what I pointed before.

Also WRT telemetry: forums.raspberrypi.com/viewtopic.php?t=341514
The only telemetry is pertaining to what the imager is burning to the card. So if you don’t use the imager there’s no telemetry, if you use the imager but disable telemetry, there’s no telemetry, if you don’t disable it, it just sends back what you’re installing.

Here the problem: they’re forcing people into the Raspberry Pi Imager with shady tactics. Without it you won’t be able login via network out of the box and by default it enables telemetry. This isn’t okay.

I’ve already spoken about the “telemetry” but here’s your ssh login. Literally all the installer is doing is adding a blank file.

Then if you don’t want to do that every time, just create an image for it. That’s your new image to flash onto the SD cards.
There’s nothing stopping you from not using the imager. dd works just fine. There’s no telemetry on the OS itself, so here’s how you personally get what you’re looking for.
