ARM64 PCs might become more common, but what I’m really looking forward to are RISC-V PCs. At least this provides more competition in the PC processor space.
Some Windows apps and almost all Windows drivers written for x86 PCs still won’t work in the Arm version of the software, and as of our testing about a year ago, apps that did offer native Arm versions would still sometimes download and install the x86 versions of those apps by default.
I assume that that won’t be much of a problem for Linux, especially distros like Arch, Gentoo, and NixOS, that support pulling prebuilt binaries or building right on the host OS.
