The __[Raspberry Pi OS]__, previously called [Raspbian], is a [Linux]-based operating system used for the [Raspberry Pi] single board computer (SBC).

The RPi OS is available in a 32 bit version and as a 64 bit OS, the latter available in beta as both a standard and "lite" version since mid 2020:

The latest as of this writing is from 5 March of this year. It's not been officially released but it seems to work fine, though most people won't notice any performance increase it is necessary for the Pi 4 8GB to be able to access the full complement of its memory.

!! Running a Raspberry Pi from an SSD

Two things to note: 

1. How to obtain ID of a drive: 
{{{
% sudo blkid /dev/sda1
/dev/sda1: LABEL="S" UUID="f904c9c3-c970-4d74-b296-2b30720dc25b" TYPE="ext4" PARTUUID="f28fb834-01"
}}}

2. how to rsync between partitions, e.g.,
{{{
% sudo rsync -axv /mnt/sdrootfs/* /mnt/usbdrive
}}}
