 Hello everyone,

 It would be nice if we could make a second image build for modern Apple
 Macs which use the arm64 architecture instead of amd64.

 The alternate architecture is fully supported by Debian/Ubuntu these days
 so most things should just work, but it may require some work to build 3rd
 party packages that are supplied by PPAs and not compiled as part of the
 OSGeoLive build scripts.

 I'm using VirtualBox on my Mac to successfully run the generic Ubuntu
 24.04 LTS xUbuntu iso with our favorite geo packages, it works fine.  But
 if you want to run Intel/AMD amd64 images you need to buy/rent Parallels
 VM currently, which I'd like to avoid.


 cheers,
 Hamish
