Error Attempting to Install Daedalus 3.1.0 on Pi 4 running Ubuntu 20.10 Desktop. Are My Efforts Futile?

This is my first post. I’m not sure if this is the correct place for this. Please advise if it is not. Thanks.

Here goes…

Device spec:
Pi 4, 8 Gig Ram, 256 Gig ssd.
Ubuntu 20.10 Desktop

Is it even possible to run daedalus on the Pi 4? Should I abandon this effort?

When I attempt to download and install the binary:

daedalus-3.1.0-mainnet-15733.bin

I get the following error after a moment of silent activity which I believe is extraction and staging of the files in a /tmp folder. There is no output to screen during this time except the error message below.

administrator@[mybox]:~/workspace/daedalus$ ./daedalus-3.1.0-mainnet-15733.bin
./nix/store/hjmgnqx2q6x47jnxz1zf46igmk5wjwri-startup: 1: ./nix/store/8wrx0g8i26nmb0bkrpxwan09b3wdclnf-nix-user-chroot-2c52b5f/bin/nix-user-chroot: Exec format error

This is because pi has arm architecture and daedalus (linux version) is compiled to x86. I think is not possible to install daedalus on Pi. Maybe team compile it for arm in the next future…
