- gspr 6y agoJudging from Debian: - Firefox: not quite, but the hurdle is minor, see below. Will be fixed when there's a demand. - LibreOffice: no. - VLC: yes. - ScummVM: builds, but fails 1 of 279 tests. Hopefully soon? - Python 3: Yes. I'll find the relevant Firefox email thread for you.
- qwerty456127 6y agoCool, thank you. You can probably see what I mean: if everything from this list works fine it makes a desktop computer sufficient for me and many other people. I imply most of the classic text-mode tools already work or can be ported with little difficulty. I've forgotten to mention Visual Studio Code but I understand it's going to be slightly harder, it hasn't been long since we've gotten an ARM port.
