One concern I've heard about the move to ARM cores is that it is done in order to lock down the devices more so they're more like a phone rather than a computer.
- jo-m 4mo agoWhat does locking down the device have to do with the CPU architecture?
- coffe2mug 4mo agoARM based devices don't have boot anything you want like x86 platform - in practice.
- chainingsolid 4mo agoAdding to this. x86 Most random Linuix ISOs will boot on anything. I've seen software compiled before the hardware had finished being designed boot just fine. (in the latest case lstopo was very confused, but everything still worked!) ARM, I go looking for a build for my chip/device in particular. x86 I just buy hardware and it works, ARM I check for OS builds before buying, and wonder if the builds will continue to get updates.....
