Comment (by cypherpunks):
Reporting from a Novena here. I built Tor Browser from source and set
preferences to use the system Tor as shown in the start_tor_browser
script. I'm running it through Xpra due to unstable drivers, so I don't
have graphical acceleration. It took maybe 11 hours to compile. So it's
quite slow, but not unusable I don't think. The main lag seems to be in
downloading pages.
The main problems I see is that from my initial glance I didn't see Gitian
working on ARM. If it requires virtualization, that's out of the question
given most ARM boards don't support those hardware extensions. There may
have to be containers used for reproducible builds if they aren't already.
