As recently as 2023/03/08 the README recommends using the 32 bit OS.

6fcd7a3f08/README.md (L32)

Please explain why this is. It would be valuable to at least know what is lost by choosing the 64 bit Raspberry Pi OS.

I recommend this as an example to pick, just because it's likely the most tested and used variant out there. Personally, i have no hardware which would benefit from a 64bit OS, so personally i see no point in choosing it over the 32bit. Apart from that, i was told that there were no real issues anymore. So you could also pick 64bit if that's what you desire.

If I were to engage with the community to aggregate the facts an opinions and label each as such, would you accept a pull request?

I began my career in 1995 thanks to Open Source software. I am always to looking for ways to give back to the community that saved me from the Appalachian coal mines that I was born above.

Sure, feel free to evaluate if 64bit is absolutely fine to use (i assume it is) and we can either simply remove the "bit recommendation" or add both to it. The whole instructions thing is just for the sake of having SOME instructions to people who might feel completely lost otherwise and have no idea how to begin in the first place. So i just put together what seemed to work for the most and was usually recommended within the community.
