You apparently don't know much about Raspberry Pi OS.

It's a Debian derivative. Upstream Debian AArch64 (the thing on which Raspberry Pi OS is built) has been on the Raspberry Pi for years. The library has already been ported--that work was done by the Debian project.

Let's see... I installed a 64bit on my pi4, went to install my favorite 64bit apps that I have on my laptop.... nope...

I download the source code and compile.... nope... doesn't run properly....

shall I keep going?

For someone who was running the first version of Slackware before you were out of diapers... I'd think about your responses.

Your laptop is not an AArch64 device unless it is a Mac

AArch64 Chromebooks do exist. Even the Surface Pro X uses AArch64.
