The fact that it still does not support an incredibly popular portable computer like the raspberry pi (or anything that ins't intel) saddens me.

- ipnon 3y agoI agree, and you have to make the PRs you want to see. I don’t think this project of free software has a big (or perhaps any) budget!
- tredre3 3y agoI'm so tired of seeing this argument. Most "big" open-source projects are well funded. Usually the reason they don't support <<obvious thing>> is poor leadership, not funding. Over the past two years Tails has received 500k USD in bitcoin alone: https://www.blockchain.com/explorer/addresses/btc/bc1qjg53lww9jrm506dj0g0szmk4pxt6f55x8dncuv https://www.blockchain.com/explorer/addresses/btc/bc1qjg53lw... You can also surmise that they receive ~200k/yr from official sponsors: https://tails.net/sponsors/index.en.html https://tails.net/sponsors/index.en.html Then you have all the paypal, bank, cash donations. Is it enough to add support for a second arch that is fully supported upstream (they ship a customized Debian)? You decide.
- sillysaurusx 3y agoThat’s a lot of donations.
- hedora 3y agoI'd guess it is a matter of priorities (do you want the safest, best-tested environment, or something less tested?). However, assuming the source is easily bootstrappable, someone should try producing an unofficial port to Arm and Risc V. I'm sure it would reveal some security holes, even if it isn't appropriate (yet) for tails' target audience.
