Hi Tobias, Indeed, this means you are _running_ a 32-bit system. It is possible that your hardware is _capable_ or running a 64-bit system. I'm not sure there is a reliable and simple way to tell. When I really want to know, I try to run the 64-bit Debian (or in your case Ubuntu) installer. Its kernel will refuse to run if the hardware is not 64-bit capable. Switching to 64-bit Starlink would require you to _reinstall_ Linux with the 64-bit installer. So this may not be practical.
