The operating system that Genesis runs on is packaged for installation on the Raspberry Pi, and its software packages are compiled for armv6 at this time. That being said, you can run Genesis on Arch Linux with little difficulty by just cloning the Github repo.
arkOS is designed for use on the RPi at this time, because my goal is to create the best user experience possible at the lowest possible entry price. Lowering the barriers to self-host one's data and all that. Once Genesis is closer to its 1.0 release (and hopefully once I have more volunteers to help out), arkOS will be extended to more powerful platforms like the Beagleboard Black (armv7) and ultimately x64/64 systems. Since I'm only one person at the moment, I thought it prudent to start with a small focus then expand from there.
