Multi-Architecture Application Support

Xkaliber OS is designed to be multi-architecture in terms of the applications it can run, ensuring broad software compatibility. It's important to clarify that Xkaliber OS itself is built for and runs on x86-64 (AMD64) architecture, the standard for most desktops and laptops. However, through advanced compatibility layers, we provide excellent support for running applications designed for other architectures. Our focus includes:

  • x86-64 (AMD64): This is the native architecture for Xkaliber OS. It's the most common architecture for desktops, laptops, and servers, and Xkaliber OS is optimized for it.
  • ARM64 (AArch64) Application Support: While Xkaliber OS runs on x86-64, we provide robust support for running ARM64 applications *within* Xkaliber OS. This is crucial for technologies like Waydroid, which enables you to run Android applications (often ARM64-based) seamlessly on your Xkaliber OS desktop. We are actively enhancing this capability to ensure excellent performance when running ARM64 software on your x86-64 system.
