Unfortunately, the Raspberry Pi OS's do not utilize it without a set of tools not installed by default. As a result, you end up with a much smaller pool [...]

First of all, given the definition of a deterministic system, the title itself gives me pause. Maybe there's some next-level random number theory described in the standard, but I'm not sure I'd ever want a random number generator to exhibit deterministic behavior.
