Hi everyone,
Just saw the news.

It was about time! 64-Bit computing has finally arrived on the single board computers! 😃
64-Bit Raspbian aka Raspberry Pi OS existed before, but was rather inofficial (nightly builds).
Raspberry Pi 4, Raspberry Pi 3 and Raspberry Pi 2 (late version) all have 64-Bit ARM processors.
Let's just hope that this doesn't mean that Pi 1, Pi Zero and the good old Pi 2 are left behind on the long run.
Raspbian used to have a very good backwards compatibility.
The newest OS and hacker projects could still be applied to the original Pis.
Especially in these days of chip shortage, old Pis are still important.
Best regards, Jo22
