OS Updates 64bit and wayland

Will we get the wayland version of raspberry pi os for the pi top 4? Also, is the current os running a 32bit user space as a lot of software is dropping 32bit support and I’m already experiencing issues with dockers that I need to run. Cheers!

This thing feels more and more like abandonware each day. The chances we ever see major OS upgrades are slim to none.

hi @jaylfc,

supporting Wayland on pi-topOS is not on our roadmap at the moment; can you tell me a bit more about your use case?. If it’s something you really need, I recommend you to use Raspberry Pi OS and install our packages by following this guide; it says bullseye but the same set of instructions will work on bookworm.

We do provide 64 bit builds; you can download the OS image in this page. I’ve updated the download link to the latest image available.

Hi and thanks for replying!

I tried your build and with it not being a true 64 bit distribution as the userland still seems to be 32bit, things will be unreliable. A lot of devs are moving away from 32 bit as was proven when a multitude of dockers failed to pull. I have installed the official raspbian, added some of your packages from your github repo and now I have a build I’m happy with. Fully functional with all of your features, why does mine work with things that yours doesn’t?

Cheers!

I can recreate my install and share if anyone is interested.
