The blockers are that x86 AMD and Intel machine are hard to beat and software just works better on x86. With linux you might be partially ok, but with Windows

  It's an issue with Windows, not ARM. On MacOS software works way better on ARM than it did on x86.

    Yeah but a PC is a whole experience, software and hardware.

    The problem is that Qualcomms CPUs are just a lot slower than what AMD and Intel offer. It's not the fault of the OS.

  Running Windows 11 ARM in Parallels on my M1 MBP is a surprisingly smooth experience. Most x86 applications work well (both in terms of reliability and performance) using Microsoft's inbuilt emulation. I have not run any games or larger applications in the VM, but I suspect most Windows users could run on ARM and not notice the difference.

  I bought my wife a Surface Pro X a while back, and once I realized that x86 emulation worked fine but x86_64 wasn’t a thing, I had no issues at all.
