aarch64linux
Aarch64linux refers to Linux operating systems built for the AArch64 architecture, the 64-bit execution state introduced by ARMv8-A. In practice it denotes Linux kernel builds and accompanying user-space images that run on 64-bit ARM hardware, including servers, single-board computers, and embedded devices. The term is not a distinct OS but a family of ARM64 images.
AArch64 provides a 64-bit virtual address space, a wider set of general-purpose registers, and an enhanced instruction
Software and distributions: Major Linux distributions offer aarch64 builds, including Debian, Ubuntu, Fedora, Arch Linux ARM,
Hardware and boot process: Aarch64linux relies on a bootloader to initialize hardware and load the kernel.
Uses and ecosystem: Common deployments include servers, cloud instances, containers, and embedded devices. Ongoing development focuses
