Cannot speak to i386. I gave up on it relatively late given that I always had
lower-memory laptops.  It may be time to let that one go.

I can only speak to amd64. Which works *great* and very reliably.

Your thinko. I have known JJ for nearly ten years, and I have complained
nearly all that time that they need an apt-get'able repo.

Which they don't have, so you read the instructions wrong. Download, then
'sudo dpkg -i' (or do 'sudo gdebi ...' per their instructions).

Easily by manual downloads first.
