Computer
Device
Is the device a CuBox-i4 Pro?
- Quad core i.MX6 at 1GHz
- 2GB RAM
- GC2000 GPU
- Gigabit Ethernet
- IR Receiver/Transmitter
- 802.11n wireless and bluetooth
- eSATA 3gbps
- RTC wth battery backup
- Micro USB serial adapter
64-bit architecture is required
The i.MX6 series is based on the ARM Cortex-A9 solo, dual, or quad cores (in some cases, Cortex-A7). The ARM Cortex-A9 MPCore is a 32-bit multi-core processor. Jami depends on Qt, which only supports 64-bit architectures.
Sufficient RAM is required
Is 2GB RAM sufficient for the system processes, desktop environment, and Jami?
Is x86_64 architecture preferred?
Does the device run Arch Linux ARM? If so, are you aware of the following note at the Supported Platforms | Qt 6.11 page?
Note: For Linux on Arm on desktops, we use Raspberry Pi 5 with 8GB RAM and Ubuntu 24.04 as a reference platform. If you have an issue with another hardware, please try to reproduce the issue on Raspberry Pi 5. We plan to move to regular platform support when a wider range of ARM-based desktop hardware becomes available. The official binaries in Qt Online Installer are built on Ubuntu 24.04 which ships with glibc 2.39, if your glibc is older than what we build with, you need to rebuild from sources.
Is Init Freedom a requirement?
| DISTRIBUTION | STATUS | AGELESS RESPONSE |
|---|---|---|
| systemd (upstream) | PR #40954 merged March 18, 2026: adds birthDate field (YYYY-MM-DD) to JSON user records. Explicitly cites AB 1043, CO SB 26-051, and Brazil Lei 15.211. A community revert attempt (PR #41179) was rejected by Lennart Poettering, who called the field “optional” and stated systemd “enforces zero policy.” The conversation was locked after 945+ comments. Coordinates with xdg-desktop-portal PR #1922 (open, age range portal API). This is the data layer for the emerging age verification stack. Affects all systemd-based distributions. | MERGED |
Is Devuan the required systemd-free distro?
Conclusion
Is a computer device with an x86_64 architecture, systemd-free, and Devuan using the DEB installation file the optimal solution?
