> if the goal of the project is to produce something that's broadly useful as a "real laptop" then this is a serious concern, as a lot of software is either bugged or straight up broken on big endian. This is really my only concern. From a practical perspective, big endian would not work for a general purpose usable laptop. Perhaps if Apple had kept with the PPC architecture, software developers would have paid more attention.
