Before installing Moode for my Pi 4 music box project, I've decided to install regular Raspberry Pi Bookworm instead to test the official 7" touchscreen.
Then, out of plain curiosity, I simply added the Moode's cloudsmith apt repo (bookworm of course) to sources.list, imported the gpg key and ran
apt install moode-player
this has installed Moode 9 on top of regular Debian and it appears to work just fine as if it was flashed from an image. I did a few minor tweaks to get the Pi OS regular desktop back but it didn't seem to affect Moode much, it still seems to work as it should as far as playing media goes. Also, other apps like VLC and Chromium seem work fine alongside.
I wanted to ask, is there much of a difference between building a standalone Moode image versus simply installing the "moode-player" package from apt repos on top of a fresh installation of Raspberry Pi OS ?
Emphasis on "fresh installation".
The only thing I've noticed so far was missing xinitrc in user's home directory to run the local UI. Which I do not need, since I have a working desktop (I use a launcher instead to run the UI as a web app). Perhaps there are more things missing but I didn't dig that deep.
I could dig into build scripts myself to find out myself, but I thought it would be much easier to simply ask here.
