ARM isn't crippled compared to x86/x64.  It's just less popular.  x86 really is a lousy design.

The only things you won't be able to run without emulation are closed-source, especially most commercial softwares.  But really, a lot of that stuff runs on Linux now too.

I can't seem to find TOR browser in the Package Manager. It's vexing.

I am a big newbie to all this so I don't know what x86 or x64 means. Could you explain what those two terms mean?

Below is the information about my Pinebook Pro and the OS and stuff its running at the moment.

Qt Version: 5.15.1
Kernel Version: 5.7.19-1-MANJARO-ARM
OS Type: 64-bit

Hardware

Memory: 3.7 GiB of RAM
