      Hello Adam!   
      
   17 Jul 24 15:03, you wrote to all:   
      
    AF> $ uname -m   
    AF> aarch64   
      
   This shows your kernel is 64-bit   
      
    AF> $ getconf LONG_BIT   
    AF> 32   
      
   This indicates that the user applications are compiled for a 32-bit   
   architecture.   
      
    AF> $ dpkg --print-architecture   
    AF> armhf   
      
   This shows the distribution you have installed is for the 32-bit ARM   
   architecture   
      
    AF> Which one is right?   
      
   The mix you have is because Raspbian (Raspberry Pi OS) can be installed with a   
   64-bit kernel while using 32-bit user space applications.   
   It is a common configuration to maximize compatibility while allowing the   
   benefits of a 64-bit kernel.   
      
   If you want to run a fully 64-bit system on your RPi 4B, I'm afraid you got to   
   reinstall.   
      
   Otherwise it's not a problem at all to run a 32-bit user space on a 64-bit   
   kernel.  But be aware that some packages or apps may have copatibility issues.
