I bought yet another Pi, but did not do enough research.
Apparently the 3 is aarch64/armv8, and as such, has fewer packages available, including the rather important (for my use) raspberrypi-userland tools.
Before I give in and install some awful Linux that's going to give me a headache, is it possible to install either the armv6 or armv7 images on a Pi 3? After having a quick look at Raspbian/Raspberry Pi OS, it seems they are actually using 32-bit images for the newer boards, which kind of surprised me, but apparently there is some way to do this (I am very new to arm, so I'm just thinking amd64 vs. i386 and backwards compatibility here).
