Hi team,
Just wanted to check in if there’s any update on an ARM build of Bootstrap Studio.
With more people moving to ARM-based systems, it would be great to know if it’s on the roadmap or if there’s any tentative timeline.
If there is demand, we will work on an arm build. At the moment we have a macOS arm build (Apple Silicon), but not for Windows or Linux. If others would like to see this added, write below.
I’m just curious—if my next laptop is an ARM-based device, don’t Windows ARM PCs use an emulator to run software that isn’t natively supported? Or does Bootstrap Studio simply not work on them?
Yes, Windows on arm uses an emulator to run x86 software, so the current version of Bootstrap Studio will run fine. On Linux I am not sure of the state of this type of emulation. The forum thread is about a native arm builds which don’t go through the emulator.
