As you can see it is armv8 and 64 bit.
i don't know much about arms, but in x86 land you can have a 64bit CPU running a 32bit Operating System. the point is: your CPU specs are not necessarily the arch you are looking for.
I tried to find the external freeverb through Deken but I can see only that there is no external compiled for armv8 64 bit.
Would it work an external compiled for armv7 32bit on my system? I guess not, but it is worth trying asking
the simplest way is alway to just try it out. however, even if you could run 32bit code on your armv8-64bit, i'm pretty sure that you can *not* run a 32bit external (e.g. freeverb~) in a 64bit host (e.g. Pd).
What about the externals indicated with Linux-amd64-64?
what about them? they are meant to run on amd64 processors (aka x86_64) which is the standard CPU type on desktop and laptops these days. they are incompatible with arm64.
If I have to compile all of the externals I need, then I would share them with the community so there is a version of them for the armv8-64.
cool. (you will need a puredata.info account for sharing via deken)
apart from that: if you are running a Debian derivative on your system,
you could just install Pd and *a lot* of externals via apt.
no need to recompile anything. there is even an integration into deken.
