Google is finally bringing Chrome to ARM64 Linux devices

If you're an ARM64 Linux user, you'll finally be able to run the official version of Google Chrome on your machine soon.

Google is finally introducing native Chrome support to ARM64 Linux devices. It only took the company six years after bringing Chrome to ARM64-powered macOS devices and two years after doing the same for Windows.

Right now, Google Chrome is only available for x86_64 (amd64) on Linux. But that’s about to change soon, as Google officially announced its plan to bring Chrome to ARM64 Linux devices in Q2 2026. So, expect it to arrive somewhere between April and June this year.

ARM64 Linux users are already running Chromium, which is the open-source base of Chrome, natively on Linux, but with the help of workarounds like packages, snaps, flatpaks, etc. Some users also run the standard x86_64 (amd64) version of Chrome on Linux through emulators. But this usually isn’t optimal, as the entire setup is more resource-demanding.

Running a native version of Chrome instead of a Chromium base means ARM64 Linux users can finally use the browser the same way everyone else does. That includes features like Google account sync, Widevine DRM for Netflix/Spotify in HD, Chrome Web Store payments, and more.

In the same blog post, Google also announced a new partnership with NVIDIA to make Chrome easily installable on its new DGX Spark system. NVIDIA DGX Spark is a compact mini desktop PC designed for researchers and developers that packs the Grace Blackwell architecture. NVIDIA calls it a “personal AI supercomputer.”

If you’re an ARM64 Linux user and want to download the official version of Google Chrome, make sure to regularly visit the official download page. Once Google officially releases it, the download page will automatically detect your architecture, and you’ll finally be able to install Chrome on your device.
