Modify apt sources.list(s)

In order to install Steam, Bumblebee and its supporting libs, you must enable the i386 arch.

Doing so gives you harmless warnings/errors as follows;

N: Skipping acquire of configured file 'main/binary-i386/Packages' as repository 'http://q4os.org/q4repo q4os-3-0-cn InRelease' doesn't support architecture 'i386'
N: Skipping acquire of configured file 'main/binary-i386/Packages' as repository 'http://q4os.org/qtderepo buster InRelease' doesn't support architecture 'i386'

Modifying the 10_q4os.list and 12_qtde.list files to specify the architecture removes the warning messages.

Example from:

deb http://q4os.org/q4repo q4os-3-0-cn main

to

deb [arch=amd64] http://q4os.org/q4repo q4os-3-0-cn main

It would be great if it was like this out of the box, or if a script modified it after install since the q4os repos don't have i386 packages anyways.

Yes, we are aware about that, however we are going to add the i386 support into the Centaurus repositories in a near future as well. So, the warnings will cease away. You could safely ignore these warnings as long as Centaurus is being a testing release. Thanks for the report.
