I can't find the mark "arm64".
Can anyone advise me about a good arm64 image and point me in the right direction?
I can not use all my software on my beloved PowerbookPro like VNC and Stacer so I keep trying for a 64-bit user environment.
For the future I would vote for 64-bit for the user also.
Found the arm64 marks fire219 mentioned.
I tried >10 arm64 images. dd and Etcher to SSD. No luck yet.
Could use some advise about a promising linux arm64 image with Desktop.
(Slightly salved my PinebookPro with oil, fingerprints are now invisible.)
You're too hung up on 64bit userland, it won't solve any of the problems you think you're having.
An arm64 userland won't make Stacer compatible, you'll need to build it yourself from github for arm. The build depends on Qt5 5.10, bionic ships 5.9.5 and stretch ships 5.7.1, so you'll need to build or find a backported Qt5. It's also not supported by the author on arm* so there's no guarantee it'll even work after that.
There should be plenty of VNC clients and servers out there for armhf, you don't need arm64 for that. "apt list '*vnc*'" should give you a few options.
There's really no reason to install a 64bit userland right now, all that's going to do is consume more ram.
