Description with steps to reproduce

I have installed the Linux version AArch64 on a Lenovo Chromebook, and it installed fine, but when I click on the Icon it just spins?

Is there any known issues?

I even did this with a separate admin related account to be sure it is not a permission issue, several restarts have not worked either. I found it unique. I feel like something is up, even after letting it spin for 30 minutes it wont actually open or give me the splash page. This is a newer lenovo with 8gb of ram. I feel like it should be very zippy.
