As you discovered, the ESP32 toolchain is not yet available for the Linux ARM host. There are plans to add support for Linux ARM eventually but it hasn't happened yet:
There is some information and links on that thread and the ones that link from it that would allow you to set this up on your own, but it will likely be quite challenging.
