Running x86 software
#3
You should be able to use qemu's userspace emulation to run 32 and 64 bit x86 apps, but it requires carrying around the full library dependencies for x86 as well.

I've measured qemu's performance running x86_64 on aarch64 as about 10% of native performance, so it's slow, but it does work.

Unfortunately, I've also found problems with things like spotify - I can't get it working right, even though there's an x86 Linux client. :/  It crashes on startup and I've not had the time to troubleshoot it.
