Choosing the Correct IntelliJ Version | Generated by AI
From your uname -a output:
Linux to 6.8.0-60-generic ... x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
That x86_64 means your CPU architecture is 64-bit Intel/AMD (x86-64), not ARM.
So when downloading IntelliJ IDEA (or any JetBrains IDE), you should pick the Linux (x64 / x86-64) version, not the ARM64 one.
The Linux ARM64 builds are only for devices with ARM processors (like Apple Silicon Macs, some newer servers, or ARM laptops).
👉 In short:
- Your machine →
x86_64→ use Linux x64 - Not your machine → ARM chips (M1/M2 Macs, some ARM servers) → use Linux ARM64
Do you want me to also show you a quick command to double-check your CPU type (e.g., lscpu or arch) so you can be 100% sure?
