I mean yes. This means that they won’t support it, at the very least for now. Big surprise.
Doesn’t surprise me: The ARM (SoC) ecosystem is a fucking mess!
Until ARM hardware is as generic as regular PCs, it will always have issues like this.
Note that I didn’t say, “ARM Linux”. This is because it’s a fucking mess for all operating systems!
“Will my program run on this ARM chip? It runs on other ARM chips.”
“Probably? Maybe? Who TF knows‽”
Yeah, ARM seems like such a shitshow of an ecosystem to me that I think the idea of it actually replacing x86 everywhere is laughable until such time as they (who even is they?) get their shit together.
In Linux land, “not supported on” and “doesn’t work on” are two very different things.
Ran into this the other day, when an update broke a game I was playing. Checked the game forum and the developer said that the workaround was to move a DLL up one level in the directory. When people asked if that solution would work for every distro, the developer would only say that it’s supported on steam deck, since that’s what they are testing on. Of course, that solution works on all distros, as far as I can tell, but the developer isn’t going to test and verify that.
That’s not exclusive to Linux. That’s what it means everywhere.
