Does this mean we will soon see ARM based Linux Desktops?

  They've been around for 7+ years with Raspberry Pi

    and chromebooks

      You are both technically correct - the best form of correct. It seems like raspberry pi maxes out at 8GB of RAM, which effectively will not allow me to work. I also do not plan run Google's OS for chromebooks, and it seems like installing other OSs is a hassle on the chromebooks. In essence I want the specs of a MBP M3 Max with 128GB of ram, just running PopOS.

  RaspberryPI? If you mean ATX-factor then you can go and buy something like this Ampere Altra.[1] Probably better off putting Asahi Linux on a Mac Studio though, as the CPU upgradability is going to be limited regardless.

    Laptops, sorry, not Desktops. And I would also want something that performs better than Raspberry Pie.

  Chromebooks are essentially that. You need some hacks to get non-Google desktop environments to run, but Chromebooks are how Google brought Linux to mainstream laptops.

    Currently I can run PopOS using Parallels, which runs surprisingly well! What I want is a computer with 64-128GB RAM, a really fast CPU and a coprocessor that does parallel computations (let's call it an AI chip like everybody else) so that I can run ollama / complex Elixir live books etc. So far the Mac books fit the bill. But I really like PopOS and would really adore to run it on some beefy ARM laptop.
