Software Compatibility, If on Pi then?
#1
I need a sanity check here.  I'm a novice on my recently received Pinebook Pro, but I was hoping that if a software package is compatible with a raspberry pi ARM architecture, that it would also be compatible on the Pinebook.  Am I wrong here? 

As an example, I installed Calibre from the software center and the program won't start.

Can I add repositories meant for the Pi and have them run on the Pinebook? Clearly I'm in over my head but I'm hoping to at least get a couple pieces of software running to keep learning. 

I should mention I'm running on the recent default Manjaro installation based on kernel version 5.6.0.2.
