**Project**: Porting Qubes to ARM/aarch64 **Project**: Porting Qubes to ARM/aarch64
**Brief explanation**: **Brief explanation**:
Qubes currently only supports the x86_64 CPU architecture. Xen currently has additional support for ARM32/ARM64 processors, however work needs to be done to integrate this into the Qubes build process, as well as work in integrating this with the Qubes toolstack and security model. This may also be beneficial in simplifying the process of porting to other architectures. Qubes currently only supports the x86_64 CPU architecture.
