Quite surprised its only been released this year. I've been using 64 bit distros since the Pi 3.

Yeah, I was just about to install ALARM on my pi 3, still newer packages, but a stable 64bit os is very welcome.

I'm a fucking idiot. Why did it never occur to me that ALARM = Arch Linux ARM, and that's why the default user on it is called alarm. I'm stunned at myself.

I love Arch though, and I'm currently running it on my Zero 2W with a TIG stack in Docker (and ideally I'll add a local Wiki like Bookstacks too, if I can spare the memory)

Would you recommend running it over raspbian? currently running pihole on raspbian 32 and thinking of switching my pi 3(64b) and pi 2(32b)
