Linux linux64 Architecture

What is Linux linux64 Architecture?#

In Linux, linux64 is not a command itself, but rather refers to the 64-bit x86 architecture (x86_64 or amd64). On 64-bit systems, this is typically the default operating environment, and there isn’t a dedicated linux64 command to explicitly run programs in a 64-bit environment in the same way linux32 is used for 32-bit compatibility.

Checking System Architecture#

To check if your Linux system is 64-bit, you can use the uname -m command:

uname -m

If the output is x86_64, your system is 64-bit. If the output is i386 or i686, it is a 32-bit system.
