Hi,
I want to try out Go on an Raspberry Pi 3 and I’m wondering which OS I should use and 32 bit or an 64 Distro… As far as I see the only distro that supports AArch64 is Arch Linux…
I wonder if there are any major pros and cons running Go on ARM 64 Bit with AArch64 or any tips people have running Go on an Raspberry Pi 3?
I use raspbian from the raspberry pi site.
Thanks for the reply I think I will try Raspbian since it seems to be the most popular distro and I don’t think I need the best performace for my hobby / pet project…
Tbh I wasn’t aware that arch Linux had a 64bit kernel for the rpi3. It would be an interesting data point for comparison between 32 and 64 bit on the same hardware.
The rpi arrived today i installed Raspian…I think I will later at the weekend install Arch with an 64 bit kernel on another sdcard and compare them… but first I will just try it out and play with it… I’m just wondering if theres anywhere an good tutorial how to write an listener for an snes usb controller… 
I’m also wondering why the https://github.com/golang/go/wiki/GoArm section is so sparse… I’m no Go expert but I think the Raspberry Pi would be a great platform to get programming beginners attracted to Go…
