Title: Will Electrum run on a Linux PC with an ARM processor
Post by: ajgarnerin on June 22, 2019, 06:00:35 PM
Hi

Does anyone know if Electrum will run on a Linux PC with an ARM processor?
For instance such as a Pinebook: https://store.pine64.org/?product=11-6-pinebook

Also, will I be able to connect Trezor, Ledger and Coldcard to it?

Best regards,

AJ Garnerin

Electrum works on Linux, I've run it myself it's really easy to install.

Hardware can run on it too as the code is the same it's just compiled differently.

as far as i know Electrum doesn't have any code that is CPU specific, everything is written for general purposes and can run on any architecture. the dependencies it has might have such codes, for example libsecp256k1 which is used for some cryptography functions might have some CPU specific code but any good code has a default implementation in case it didn't support something so you shouldn't worry about it.
