Kind request for an arm64 compatible version, which might be used in Chromebook, not just raspberry pie. #17
Description
Hi Arthur, I commented already on a similar issue asking for an arm64 compatible version, but just in case the comment gets lost in the noise, I also want to create a new issue for this request.
In short, there are millions of ARM-based Chromebooks out here, and they support Linux apps (support provided by crostini). As such, they have become very powerful devices that can run Android and Linux apps and many scientists (I included) are using them as daily devices. I already got Python, R, and almost everything else I needed installed on my Lenovo Duet, except for R-studio.
After searching for weeks for a solution, I found 1. that your package is the closes there exist to a working r-studio for arm64, but it's compiled for a different architecture, 2. that there are hundreds or thousands of potential users in the same situation as me, and we could all really use your help.
I hope creating a fork or branch and compiling this project for a different architecture won't be too much of a trouble for you, given how much you already know about this.
Would you please take a look? Thanks in advance. And if you need some donations to help fund the effort, I'm pretty sure I can find people willing to contribute in all those forums asking for an Rstudio package for ARM-based Chromebooks.
Thanks in advance for taking the time to look into this.
Max.
