AmneziaVPN 4.8.12.9 does not run on Linux due to the fact that the application does not support older processors on Linux, although the application runs on Windows 10.

Downgraded to 4.8.11.4, the latest version with amnezia2 just does not work at all on my most ubuntu/debian hosts.

Same hare on a pretty old computer. Everything worked fine on Windows. After switching to Linux, I get
Incompatible processor. This qt build requires the following features: ssse3 sse4.1 sse4.2
Had to downgrade to an earlier build in order to run the client. Please bring back support for older processors in the upcoming update.
