### ARM (unsupported)
### ARM32 (Tier 3 Support)
Homebrew can run on 32-bit ARM (e.g. Raspberry Pi and others) and 64-bit ARM (ARM64, also known as AArch64), but as they lack bottles (binary packages) they are unsupported. Pull requests are welcome to improve the experience on ARM platforms.

### 32-bit x86 (incompatible)
### 32-bit x86 (Unsupported)
Homebrew does not run at all on 32-bit x86 platforms.
### Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL) 1
### Windows Subsystem for Linux 1 (Tier 3 Support)
Due to [known issues](https://github.com/microsoft/WSL/issues/8219) with WSL 1, you may experience issues running various executables installed by Homebrew. We recommend you switch to WSL 2 instead.
