Description

Developer tend to use a binary distribution, containers, and power devs often will build from source. However, given many Cardano run time applications (cardano-node, cardano-db-sync, etc...) require quite a hefty local dev env provisioning to even build from source, I think it's fair to say binary and container images are quite popular.

Given this I've always come across issues with Linux ARM support. It's an absolute nightmare on M-series chips. The community always has to run to another community project for Linux ARM, but this should be implemented in the official repositories. Even in VM on M-series Macs, the images and binaries are recognized as Linux-ARM.

ARM is also used heavily with smaller form factor hardware like SBCs. I think supporting ARM releases is simply more inclusive of developer hardware and improve Mac compatibility.

My suggestion is run-time applications and container registries start having Linux-ARM architecture support.
