Dietpi For raspberrypi 3B，it’s 64-bit？

In short: No

Why? Because it's only one RPi image (based on Rasbian) which will support all RPi hardware revisions since 2012.

If you think, you will need a (unsupported) 64bit Debian version (not DietPi) for RPi have a look here: https://github.com/bamarni/pi64

@k-plan thanks

Check out the discussion about this on Raspbian forum: https://www.raspberrypi.org/forums/viewtopic.php?t=192321

We will follow them. As fast as they release a x64 repository for RPi3 (or 4 then, who knows), we will do as well. But indeed the benefits seem to be marginal and do now weight out the effort for now.

@MichaIng Ok,now I know.Thanks.

No worries about language here, many of us are learning by doing 😃.

@k-plan @MichaIng Thank you-all very much.A week later, I found another 64-bit system project——ubuntu64-rpiThe readme.md in English is in the root directory
(It is Chinese project,but it included 64-bit Centos )。

Abou tubuntu

• The root directory built directly based on ubuntu-Base-16.04-arm64
• /etc/apt/sources.list have been modified.
  eg. archive.raspberrypi.org be modified into mirrors.tuna.tsinghua.edu.cn(Chinese Web site)
• username = ubuntu
  password = ubuntu

Kernel

• [X] wifi
• [ ] bluetooth
• [x] GPIO

@dyxang
Thanks for sharing.

I guess since all the documentation is in Chinese language as well, and as DietPi-Prep does not official support Ubuntu base images, this is no option. Anyway I see no reason to move to a 3rd party project, that might bring instabilities and other risks and most importantly does not have a large user/support space as Raspbian has.

Although, with some adjustments, DietPi-Prep installs fine on Ubuntu: https://github.com/Fourdee/DietPi/issues/1557
But this is more an "if nothing else as Ubuntu base image is available" worst case solution 😉.

But these kind of 3rd party images play their role in testing and benching x64 on RPi and might be some innovators for Raspbian, finally offering x64 images as well. So respect and thanks to people doing such 👍.

@MichaIng Well,English readme.md is ubuntu64-rpi/README-EN.md.
Just mention it.Thank you for your reply

@dyxang
Ah apologize, seems I had a too rough look at this. Still, not an option for DietPi from my point of view, but interesting to know. Maybe an option for others and great to have people offering x64 RPi images generally to bring forward this for hopefully soon all devices.
