MX Linux Forum

From Distrowatch: Question:
Does MX-Linux really support arm-computer-architecture like "NVIDIA Jetson Orion" (https://youtu.be/QHBr8hekCzg) natively?

Does MXPI deliver packages also for arm-architecture?

Thank you.

Just raspberry pi for a release. Don’t know if the packages would work elsewhere. They might.

Starting with MX-21 we started building armhf packages for a Raspberry Pi MX respin. For MX-23 the respin (for the Pi 4, 400, & 5) switched to arm64 (aarch64) so we build arm64 packages as well.
Note that because the Raspberry Pi computers don't support booting in the same manner as our normal x86 machines, these respins are distributed as a .img files that need to be written to a microSD card to boot in the Pi.
That's an issue with current arm computers. As far as I can tell, there is no way of installing Linux on arm that's standard enough that one can write an install program that's not specific to a particular model.
In addition most arm computers require a kernel with specific proprietary drivers.
So the software packages are available in our repositories for arm computers - the question is whether or not you can figure out a way to install them.

I see. Thank you both.
