Many, many thanks to all for the inputs thus far. Sincerely appreciated. My end-game, to put all cards on the table for a sanity check, is to be able to run the Netbeans 11.2 IDE with C/C++ plugin, on the Raspberry Pi 4B 4GB, running the 64-bit Ubuntu 18.04.4 LTS operating system and the xubuntu-desktop. Does anyone see any issues beyond the SUBJ Netbeans ARM64 compatibility concern I initially started with?
