On the AppImage download page for 32-bit PCs, the download is version 2.1, but isn't there a 2.3.2 version available at Open Source Lab?
Comments
What is "the AppImage download page for 32-bit PCs"?
Download > Linux > AppImage.
Oops, I need new glasses, sorry
Or remove that link
I agree with Jojo. Since AppImage MuseScore 3.x does not run on these architectures, they should be removed.
I would suggest adding a link to the "Older and unsupported versions", section/anchor #Older-and-unsupported-versions, which contains link "Other packages for all platforms (1.x, 2.x, 3.x - 3.2.3)".
As mentioned elsewhere, MuseScore does run on ARM - both 64- & 32-bit. There just isn't an "official" build - only an unofficial one I distribute on my site at https://community.masteringmusescore.com/c/education-resources/install-… because no one seemed to want to own this.
Ok, so my proposals are
a) link to your page hosting the unofficial versions, appending “ (unofficial)” to the link text OR
b) remove the links
We have such a link on the official Handbook page for Chromebook installation (https://musescore.org/en/handbook/3/install-chromebook), at the bottom under "External Links". We should probably have a Chromebook section on the Download page as well. I'd have added it myself long ago but that page isn't editable by mere mortals.
