Description

Hi,

I’m using a 64-bit ARM (ARM64) system and noticed there isn’t a pre-built release for this architecture. Could you provide one? It would make it easier for ARM64 users to run ente.

Thank you!

Research direction
Examine the existing CI/CD workflows in .github/workflows to understand how current builds are set up. Identify where platform architectures are defined and add an ARM64 target. Look for any cross compilation configuration or Docker build scripts. Test the new build using an ARM64 runner or emulator.
