I don't have much faith in Arm Linux. Tuxedo gave up.

Cheap Windows Arm laptops are flooding the market, if someone can pick ONE laptop to support they could easily buy them on sale , refurbished them with Linux and make a profit.

Looks likes their are some challenges with doing this.

We run a handful of Linux workloads on Graviton without any issues.

Do you mean "desktop arm linux"? Because AWS, Google, and others all run Linux on their arm servers and that market segment is only growing.

Running Windows stuff.....

I don't use Windows but I do run a lot of software made only for Windows. I don't see any problem with that.

		Until the fountain runs dry, because the kingdom lords diverted the river from Valve's well castle.

I quite prefer that to the alternative of not running Windows stuff.

		Thing is, that strengths Windows market relevance, as IBM learnt with OS/2 and its Windows compatibility.

They probably gave up on their Snapdragon X efforts as Snapdragon X2 Elite was nipping at their heels and they'd have a redundant device by the time their efforts came to market.

I was also slowly loosing hope, although I do still run some NixOS ARM Raspberry PIs. But with the recent Valve backing, I'm back on the train again, and eagerly awaiting the slow but steady improvements, and figuring out where I can contribute back.

Valve seems to be putting a lot of resources into this area for their Steam Frame

Supposedly the ARM ThinkPads are alright on Linux.

		Not really. The drivers are not upstream, so it only works well on specially made Ubuntu spins that carry out of tree patches and random binary blobs. It is really still quite a mess at the moment.

Honestly, I don't have much faith in Linux anymore, and it has everything to do with the explosion of the kernel's codebase due to the explosion of cheaper devices running linux and the (admittedly difficult) management issues surrounding the kernel. I feel like from a security perspective, macos is a better choice and that pains me as a long time linux user.

Can we please move on to microkernels already? I'm fine with a tiny performance hit, I just don't want to get rooted because I plugged in the wrong USB stick.

		If you don't want to go macOS route and want to leave Linux world, your destination would be FreeBSD or OpenBSD. On the other hand, if you're not running Wine, you can't get autorun virii from USB drives, plus the Windows virii just lives there and can't do anything.

		You can use microkernels whenever you want. Just be aware that they typically have the same issues with zombie/cruft code and aren't necessarily more secure for every application.

		I want a 4TB SSD. To do that on a MacBook I'm spending a minimum of 3200$. If you have unlimited money ( or can expense it) a 3200$ to 4k MacBook is going to be the best experience money can buy. If you have limited funds, a 200$ used computer can get the job done with the right distro.
