64 -bit version "Raspberry Pi OS", official release -Cnet Japan

　The Raspberry Pi Foundation has released a stable version about a year and a half after the release of the 64 -bit version of the Raspberry Pi OS.

　In May 2020, the Foundation announced the 8GB model of Raspberry Pi 4 and released a 64 -bit Raspberry Pi OS beta based on the Debian.

　The first model equipped with a 64 -bit processor was "Raspberry Pi 3", so the 64 -bit OS could be executed since its 2016 release, but the Foundation is compatible between devices dating back to 2011.In order to secure, the 32 -bit OS (the name at that time was "Raspbian") was continued.

　According to Gordon HollingWorth, which oversees the development of software at the Raspberry Pi Foundation."We have been trying out raspberry Pi OS beta for the past year with prestigious 64 -bit. It has recently been open to more users."

　He states that the compatibility of the application was "main concerns" as the background of the decision to select a 64 -bit OS instead of a 32 -bit OS.

　He explained that "many closed source applications are only compatible with ARM64, and open source applications are not completely optimized for the ARMHF transplant version," he said.

　The 64 -bit version of "Chromium" installed by default has no "WideVinecdm" library, so it is not possible to stream "Netflix" or "Disney +".
