      id like to know too. i know for a fact the have been mainlining arm drivers to linux and standardizing it not unlike x86. we even have ways to run x86 code on arm.

      i hope things go as well as its looking.

        ??? Literally every android phone is linux. All arm SBCs run linux. Linux is the default on arm, macos and windows are just catching up.

          I realize that. It doesn’t mean I like it. ARM is just a corporation that makes money by holding IP. It’s the opposite is open source.
