Description

Hi,

I would love to see support for non-x86 platforms, particularly for Linux on ppc64le. The recent availability of somewhat-affordable IBM/OpenPOWER/POWER9 hardware is particularly appealing to privacy-concious individuals.

Thank you!

Research direction

The issue names no files, tests, or entry points. Start by identifying where the client, installer, and website define supported platforms, then determine the required Linux ppc64le scope and validation. Done would mean the project explicitly supports the requested non-x86 platform, with appropriate verification identified.
