Headless linux request

Post by jaenster »

The headless linux variant is great, i really like all the effort that went into it.

The thing is that i see more and more VPS's in the cloud switching to ARM machines, and typically the cheaper options are ARM machines too. A quick google search leads me to some sources that 50% of the new cloud machines are ARM based

Is it too much trouble to ask for an ARM build of the linux headless? I assume you guys already cross compile anyway with all the different versions you support.
Since the macos version is also compiled for apple silicon but ARM chipset, but also the nitendo switch which is also ARM if im not mistaken, i suspect that it all your code works just fine on ARM and it is just another output?

Im not sure if you guys have factorio in package managers like apt etc, but if so, these would also automatically pick the right version for the user, when ever it is ARM or AMD64.
