Most desktop OSes are designed for the x86 archetecture, something that's been around for literally decades. ARM has its own special one. If it is supported, it's based on newer code that may or may not be as robust, the older stuff. Good luck!

Debian works on a Raspberry Pi and it runs an ARM processor. So, I would assume that it should work.

I can't answer this specifically, but I recall that ARM processors are sometimes special, special as in a pain in the ass.

While trying to install linux on my ARM Chromebook, there was a whole separate guide for that type of processor instead of the one-size-fits-all non-ARM processor Chromebooks. Even with the guide I could not get it to work successfully. My experience may not be relevant, but I wanted to share just in case.

Looks like it can. According to Debian compatibility docs ARMv7 is supported, and the Cortex-A17 is ARMv7 says Wikipedia.
