Description
### Description
The GitHub workflows create Linux packages for x64 architecture but not for Arm64. Having release packages available for Arm64 will unlock users on Raspberry pi, snapdragon X laptops and Chromebooks with ARM CPU architectures. I have successfully built from source on Arm64 and tested on Raspberry pi and chromeOS and I will send a pull request. I changed a .yml file in the .github folder and also a shell script in frontend/scripts. I can test the script but I don't know how to test the changes to the GitHub workflow. Should I submit the PR without testing the GitHub workflows change or is there some way that I can test it myself in my fork?
### Impact
This will create release artifacts that can be installed on Raspberry pi, Snapdragon X laptops and Chromebooks with ARM cpu's.

Research direction
Start with the existing Linux package workflow in .github and the shell script under frontend/scripts, comparing the current x64 path with the requested Arm64 path. Test the script on Arm64 as described, then use a fork to validate the GitHub workflow and confirm that Arm64 release artifacts are produced.
