Raspberry Pi users have been relying on the 32-bit version of the Raspberry Pi OS, previously known as Raspbian, for a long time. Now, Raspberry Pi, the company behind the low-cost single-board computers, has announced the release of the 64-bit version of Raspberry Pi OS. It brings better app compatibility and performance improvements to Raspberry Pi models.
Raspberry Pi announced the 64-bit version of the Raspberry Pi OS via an official blog post. The company stated that it has been trialing the beta version of the OS for the past year and is now available for a wider audience.
Now, it is worth mentioning that the 64-bit Chromium, which is installed by default with the new Raspberry Pi platform, does not currently support Widevine DRM. This means that websites or services that require DRM like Netflix or Disney+ Hotstar will not work on the 64-bit version of the OS.
