It depends on the model number of your Pi and if it is a 32 or 64 bit.

Pick the download with the desktop that matches.

The latest version is based on debian 11, legacy is based on debian 10.

If you're using RazPi OS, use the 32 bit, no matter what Pi you have. It's better equipped.

RazPi OS-armhf will handle Pi 2 or later. If you have one of the very early ones, they also do a version for them, although you may have to search for it.

I have no clue if it is 32 bits or 64 bits.

Is there an image that works for most PIs, downloaded from a general link like download default whatever release version?

Pick either the first or second download link in the posted page. The second if you want the recommend software which is a 2.2 GB download file.

I'd download the desktop version, you can always add more stuff if needed.

Then use a 32bit version.

I suspect all releases feature the minimal raspbian desktop, but I heard there were significant changes between Debian 10 & 11.

I'm not sure but I think someone once said "Friends don't let friends drive Debian"

All kidding aside, you may find this collection of simple Slackware images helpful https://osdn.net/projects/slarm64/storage/images/

... but if you really want to get it ALL, try http://arm.slackware.com/

On the Debian RasPi OS (they renamed it) use the 32bit armhf.It's every bit as fast as any 64bit and has much more working software. The 64bit is still a Beta.That runs on ≥ the Raspberry Pi 2 up.

Debian 11 emerged as flakier on the RazPi but that sort of thing gets sorted fairly quickly.
