Why can't Pinebook Pro have TOR browser and other programs?
#4
x86 is the 8086 family of 8/16/32 bit microprocessors that Intel makes, which are the heart of "Windows" computers, and Apple computers in recent years. x64 is the 64 bit variant.  ARM (Acorn Risc Machine) is a popular alternative.  When people say "ARM can't do ..." they are usually comparing to x86/x64.  It's mostly a false comparison.  Just because ARM doesn't do something currently, it's not because it can't.  It's usually because no one bothers to write the software to do it, because the vast majority of people are running Windows, and Windows (as people know it) doesn't run on ARM (yet).

I don't use Manjaro (I do not like it), but DuckDuckGo says this is how you do it:

(I use NetBSD on my Pinebook Pro, which is more obscure than Linux, but it looks like TOR is more easily available for that.)
