   One thing I hate about Linux is when a program would be exactly what I need, I install it... and it doesn't run

     @ramin_hal9001 It happens to me often cause I'm no longer on just x86, and the issue is almost always architecture.
     Many programs got to a point where they did everything the program needed to be doing, so no more updates. Now suddenly, we have more devices that aren't x86 or x86_64, and so now I run in to this.

     Xsane, for example. It does EXACTLY what it needs to do, and does it well, looking like it has forever. Doesn't run on arm.

     @hellomiakoda I haven’t had this happen to me in ages, but usually when it happens, it is because you are missing some library dependency. You can debug it pretty easily by running it from the command line and checking the log output. You can also install the binutils package for your distro and use the ldd tool to see the libraries on which it depends.

     In general it is not a good idea to download and run binaries on Linux, you should build from source or install from the package manager as often as possible.

     @hellomiakoda have you installed the 32-bit “mutli-lib” loader? You are using Arch right?

     @ramin_hal9001 Yeah, I've been daily driving it for a while now.
     I posted screenshots and stuff.
     Where you been?

     @hellomiakoda oh, you actually bought one! Congratulations!

     Yeah, FuriOS is not well documented and I doubt they have 32bit support built for it yet. I think it is based on Droidian, so it should technically be possible, but they are using some weird build of the Linux kernel so you will probably have to build 32-bit support from scratch which as far as I know is really not easy.

     I was considering getting a Furi FLX1 because it has the fastest CPU and most memory that I could find for a Linux phone. But I opted for the FairPhone5 instead because repairability is more of a priority for me.

     @hellomiakoda huh, that is strange, I don’t seem to be seeing your posts in my stream as often as I used to, even though I am following you. Maybe your stuff is being drowned out by all the other hashtags I am following. I’ll check your history to see some of your photos.
