-You may be surprised to see `aarch64` here, but that is the official name for the Arm Architecture 64-bit instruction set. You will often see `arm64` used by Apple, and the maintainers of the Linux kernel, when referring to support for `aarch64`. This tutorial will use `arm64` consistently throughout to avoid confusion.
