Surprised that OP managed to disable secure boot (implies there is a normal UEFI boot style firmware), managed to at least attempt to boot certain Linux versions and got OpenBSD working. Seriously I thought this thing was going to be locked to the bone or restricted by black magic arcane hardware like the M1.
Color me (pleasantly) surprised.

I Assume it was easier to bolt Intel baggage onto Arm machines so they didn't have to change core windows kernel components which are probably deeply anchored to the PC architecture.
- rcarmo 4y agoI haven't tracked Windows ARM beyond the IoT editions, but you are mostly right. I see it as good re-use of something that makes complete sense if you want to match Intel configuration and hardware security options.
