Hi to everyone!
As in this previous release annoucement, https://trisquel.info/en/trisquel-110-aramo-release-announcement, where can I read about the 32bit and 64bit ARM hardware compatibility of Trisquel GNU/Linux?

Well, Avron has recently related some bad experiences: https://trisquel.info/forum/there-stable-trisquel-image-rockpro64

Maybe you will have more chance. Here is an ISO of Trisquel 12 for 64-bit ARM (probably what you have): https://cdimage.trisquel.info/trisquel-images/trisquel-netinst_12.0_arm64.iso

ARM64 and PPC64EL has been proved to work on full servers, no Single Board Computer (SBC) has reported support yet.

arielenter has one (if not the only one) arm64 Chromebook running Trisquel 12, he opened a couple of topics about it, even a wiki:

Forum:
- https://trisquel.info/en/trisquel-samsung-chromebook-v1-kevin-support-group
- https://trisquel.info/en/forum/samsung-chromebook-v1-kevin-update

Wiki:
- https://trisquel.info/en/wiki/arm64-chromebooks-trisquel-installation

So it's not impossible, but SBC has no easy/simple, on some cases even possible, tutorial to install, but if you make it possible like Ariel, let us know :)

Trisque 13 development has started, so for a while the time spent on SBC won't be much, any help from experienced users and developers is welcome.
