Supported Platforms¶

Tested environment¶

AVream is a personal project, built and manually tested on:

Ubuntu 24.04 (GNOME) — the only environment receiving hands-on testing before each release

Architecture: amd64 / x86_64

Other Linux distributions¶

AVream may work on other systemd-based Linux desktops. The CI pipeline builds and smoke-tests packages on Ubuntu 22.04, Debian 12, Fedora 41 and openSUSE Tumbleweed, but these are not manually verified on a real desktop.

Distributions that have a reasonable chance of working if dependencies are met: - Debian 12+, Ubuntu 22.04+ and derivatives (Linux Mint, Pop!_OS, Zorin OS, …) - Fedora 41+, openSUSE Leap/Tumbleweed - Arch Linux (AUR path) - NixOS (flake path)

There are no guarantees. Things may or may not work.

Bug reports from other distributions¶

I build this for myself, but I am happy to look into issues reported from other systems. If something doesn't work on your distribution, open an issue — I will do my best to help.

Required system capabilities¶

systemd user services (OpenRC/runit-based distros are not supported)
polkit and desktop auth agent
Linux virtual video support (v4l2loopback)
Python 3.10+
GTK 4.0 and libadwaita 1.x (rules out Ubuntu < 22.04, Debian < 12, Fedora < 36)
amd64 / x86_64 architecture (ARM64 is not supported)

Runtime tools (feature-dependent)¶

scrcpy + adb (Android camera backend)
pulseaudio-utils or pw-loopback (audio virtual mic path)

Package model¶

Recommended: monolithic avream_<version>_amd64.deb.
Advanced: split packages (avream-daemon, avream-ui, avream-helper, avream-meta).
RPM monolith: avream-<version>-1.x86_64.rpm.
Arch: PKGBUILD in packaging/arch/.
Nix: flake.nix package .#avream.
Snap: snap/snapcraft.yaml (Snap Store path).
Flatpak: packaging/flatpak/io.avream.AVream.yml.
Ubuntu PPA source package pipeline: debian/ + .github/workflows/ppa.yml.

Out of scope¶

Non-Linux platforms
Non-amd64 builds (until explicitly added)
Desktop stacks without a polkit auth agent
