Hi! Thank you for submitting the issue 🫶🏻

Unfortunately, you're correct, there is no proper support for ARM on Linux: Homebrew/brew#11995

Although we can still add support, there won't be any precompiled binaries available, which means it would require compiling every installation.

I think it would make sense to add support when we'll be able to cache onCreateCommand and updateContentCommand steps: devcontainers/cli#150 or after we'll add a possibility for packages installation through the feature options: https://linear.app/meaningful/issue/HAW-30/option-to-install-homebrew-packages

In those cases, the installation will still be very lengthy, but at least you can install all the stuff you need once and forget about it.

Until either of those is resolved, I don't think ARM support would be useful.
