# Platform Support {#chap-platform-support}
Packages receive varying degrees of support, both in terms of maintainer attention and available computation resources for continuous integration (CI).
Below is the list of the best supported platforms:
- `x86_64-linux`: Highest level of support.
- `aarch64-linux`: Well supported, with most packages building successfully in CI.
- `aarch64-darwin`: Receives better support than `x86_64-darwin`.
- `x86_64-darwin`: Receives some support.
There are many other platforms with varying levels of support.
The provisional platform list in [Appendix A] of [RFC046], while not up to date, can be used as guidance.
A more formal definition of the platform support tiers is provided in [RFC046], but has not been fully implemented yet.
