Using 64 bit Rasberry Pi OS on a RPi Zero 2W

[RogerH]

Dotnet can be more easily installed on the 64 bit operating system than on the 32 bit. I therefore put the 64 bit system on the SD card and let it install. All went well.
Dotnet installed with no problems, as did CumulusMX Beta. Once I found that I had to use
sudo dotnet CumulusMX.dll
rather than
sudo mono CumulusMX.exe
I succeeded in running CumulusMX directly (not as a service).

It worked, but seemed a bit slow to draw the charts. Then, after about 2 hours, the RPi Zero 2W stopped responding. I restarted the RPI, started CumulusMX, and it again stopped after a couple of hours.
I then tried to load Mono so that I could use the standard Cumulus MX. It got about 60% through the installation before the RPi stopped responding.

Has anyone had similar problems with the RPi Zero 2W?

I think the Pi zero is a bit under-resourced for running MX under dotnet. I don't actually own one but that is what I've been led to believe. Perhaps there is somebody more knowledgeable who can concur or correct me.

The mono install appears to stop on install as it is busy compiling components that are specific to the Pi. Again, this will be a slow process with a Pi zero as it is under-resourced compared to other Pi models.
