[🚀 Feature]: linux and arm 64

Being aware of

[🚀 Feature]: Requesting support for linux aarch64 for Selenium Manager #13542
and the closure as per "There are no official ARM browser driver binaries for Chrome and Edge. When they are available, we'll look into this."

seems as a bunch of corporate BS, so I share my experience in view of @DashwoodIce9 and others

1st of all I would not use chrome.... better going to chromium
2nd debian has chromium-driver for many years already https://packages.debian.org/bullseye/chromium-driver
3rd install binfmt-support qemu-user-binfmt and qemu-user-static an call selenium-manager x86 without any extra wrapper

Not ideal,.... but done! This has been working reliably for several years. In a c# app and using the nuget package (than installs the x86 version in arm64)

Nevertheless if selenium releases an arm64 version for linux, and adapts the nuget packages this would simplify stuff also.

Have you considered any alternatives or workarounds?

seems as a bunch of corporate BS

We are not a corporation, and by definition are not able to produce corporate BS. It was an accurate description of the situation (which is still true today).

Rather than posting antagonistic feature requests criticizing the current state of things, you could do a search and see that it is a work in progress and maybe even offer to help.
