schestowitz                    <p>The ARMv8-A architecture, which encompasses the 64-bit AArch64 architecture and associated A64 instruction set, was first introduced into the Raspberry Pi line with Raspberry Pi 3 in 2016. From that point on, it has been possible to run a full 64-bit operating system on our flagship products, and many third-party operating systems are available. However, we have continued to build our Raspberry Pi OS releases on the 32-bit Feb 04 00:08

schestowitz                    <p>A few more things worth noting: when using the Imager tool, Raspberry Pi OS 32-bit is still the default. You’ll need to choose the “Raspberry Pi OS (other)” category to opt for a 64-bit version of the operating system. And if you do install Raspberry Pi OS 64-bit and want to use it to stream video from Netflix or other websites that use Widevine DRM, you’ll need to install the 32-bit version of Google Chromium Feb 04 00:08

Techrights-secWorks fine from other distros.  Feb 04 14:39
Techrights-secworks fine also from other operating systems even, e.g. OpenBSDFeb 04 14:39
Techrights-secYes, if we start to migrate services from the old container.Feb 04 14:39
Techrights-secIt'd be easier to open a port on the RPi but that would have very similarFeb 04 14:40

Techrights-secCan a new container with a new OS be set up with an old version of WordPress?Feb 04 14:52
