But I'm unclear as to the cross compatibility of
the architectures. There are a few concerns I have, the two main ones being the Proton
applications and TDE.
Proton will never workâit's a patchset over WINE, which is a translator of
system calls for x86 and descendant architectures only.
TDE should be fine.
Some other popular software that definitely won't work: several
Chrome-based browsers (Chrome itself, Vivaldi, Edge, Opera), a number
of messaging applications like Slack and the desktop version of Skype,
many non-Proton games, EagleCAD. Some of those may run inside
qemu, but only with a painful speed penalty.
The Pi is an ARM system, so if it works on a Pi, it works on ARM.
Conversely, if it doesn't work on a popular and well-supported SBC like
the Pi, it's unlikely to work on other ARM systems.
