Cannot download HARDENED Tor Browser using Tor Browser Updater (Whonix)

Non-Qubes-Whonix:

  • Not easy…
  • Install and boot kernel linux-image-amd64. Or set environment variable ‘export ARCH_DOWNLOAD=linux64’. Or not. Even if installed by tb-updater or manually. It’s a dead end. Won’t work in Non-Qubes-Whonix. At least not with the Default/Download version. Because the architecture is 32 bit.
  • Experiment with multiarch. Try installing 64 bit packages also. Looks like an inefficient solution.
  • Build Non-Qubes-Whonix 64 bit from source code.

For now this is for Linux 64bit systems only but we are thinking about supporting OS X and Windows in the future as well.
Doesn't look like Linux 32 bit hardened TBB downloads will be provided anytime soon.

EDIT:
It’s also very unlikely, that I will be producing downloadable 64 bit versions of Non-Qubes-Whonix. Too much maintenance effort. I try balance it by providing 32 bit Non-Qubes-Whonix for most/lower end systemd and providing 64 bit Qubes-Whonix for higher end systems.

Non-Qubes-Whonix 14 will be 64 bit.

Qubes-Whonix:

  • Works out of the box. Because it’s 64 bit.
