Since some people reported that Giada builds even on ARM machines such as Raspberry Pi, it seems like a quite low-effort improvement.
The selection of music production software is limited for this platform (unless you know how to compile stuff), and it might be a good idea to provide an ARM-compatible AppImage for those who wish to try out Giada on their tiny machines. I believe there is not a lot of "competition" on this "market".

Personally I switched to Odroid ARM computer as my daily desktop, due to negligible power consumption and decent performance for light tasks. I will continue my programming efforts on it unless I find something that prevents me from doing so.

I wanted to spark a discussion around the demand for such a feature - do people actually want it, can we deliver it etc.
I can test it, that's for sure :D
The question remains however, does AppImage actually support ARM? Hmm..
