    lol yeah…. Debian has has an arm64 variant since version 8:

    98% of Debian is currently built: over 12200 source (arch-specific) packages. https://wiki.debian.org/Arm64Port

    It is true that for gaming we’re back into emulating x64 and translating Windows APIs via WINE and maybe Proton but almost all Linux software will work natively.
