Hehe. Yours is a little cutie too!

I've just borked my install trying to migrate to aarch64 from armv7h.

Currently rescuing it (I hope) with a chroot.

Fun! :D

edit: all sorted! aarch64 kernel compiled; migrated the userland over from armv7h (I've been using 32-bit for a few months) - no issues so far! whee!



Good luck! I'd like to hear how Arch works out for you. I used to use Arch before I switched to macOS. If I ever get around to using a Pi as a desktop, Arch will definitely my first choice.


GP is not talking about the Arch Linux distro, but rather switching to using a distro compiled for the 64 bit ARMv8 ISA. It’s not a completely accurate comparison, but a fair analogy is armv7h is to aarch64 as i386 is to x86_64.


I was in fact talking about Arch (though the 'unofficial' ARM port; https://archlinuxarm.org)

Though I believe barsonme picked that up from my other post below.


Heh! My bad then. Was going off the post replied too and assumed (this is what I get for assuming!) they wrongly read aarch64 as Arch.
