Are there currently ANY 64 bit OS's for the Pi3?

Sat Apr 16, 2016 11:19 pm

I've been looking around for a few weeks now for a 64 bit OS for my Raspberry Pi 3 but haven't had any luck finding anything. I've seen FreeBSD but even after downloading and running it on my Pi, I was unable to get it working. Other distros seem to all be promising a 64 bit variant in the future. Does anyone know of a 64 bit OS that is currently available?
