Re: 32 bits apps on the M10 tablet

 

I see so apps we want to use are possible to build in future into a sandbox we basically see if they run fine IE without monitor so for instance i want lifeograph and vnc i could get these in a sandbox and test on phone and tablet and tabllet with convergence and see they pan out :)
now that would be amazing :)
how will we know what sanbox available apps are available would we search through available apps i can see gimp, firefox and libre office are available but as more become available how will we know is there a store or search app ...

Actually, in this case Firefox is an armhf (32-bit ARM) binary running in a sandbox using XMir.  It's technically
possible to do the same on your phone, but the experience without the external monitor and mouse is frustrating at best.
  We do not recommend it under those circumstances, which is why we have not made it generally available.
