Greetings. This is my first post here.
I just received one of the latest batches of the Pinebook. I expected that this laptop would not run Raspian, but did I make the bad assumption that there is no way to run 32-bit Linux applications on this computer? I have searched the forum and didn't really find a satisfactory answer.
I wanted to make a review video and show VisualWorks Smalltalk and my own ARM version of Liberty BASIC running on the computer but I guess I am at least in the near term not able to do this unless there is some support for 32-bit either as a straight 32-bit Linux or as a way to install 32-bit support.
Maybe I'm in the minority but I think you will find it useful for Raspberry Pi users to be able to move smoothly to your platform by letting them bring their software with them. :-)
Any suggestions welcome, and thanks.
