Package compatibility
#3
Thank you so much for your response, that makes sense. So, it does not mean applications have to be compiled for a Pinebook Pro, but more generally for arm64?

What I meant by ".deb package manager" was a simple double click on a downloaded .deb file, which I believe then calls the dpkg command as you indicated. Not installing from a random place certainly sounds like good advice!

I wanted to understand the general concept, that's why I did not provide the specifics, but since we are here, this is what I was trying to install:

https://zoom.us/download?os=linux

(Zoom is a videoconferencing service.) I selected Ubuntu from the drop-down menu and then 64-bit and also 32-bit and neither of them worked. It gave an error message (I don't remember exactly, but I can reproduce it).
