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.
Cheers,
Horst
