That was my thought too, as far as I understand ARM is superior to x86 in many aspects, but because of compatibility it never took over the desktop market, this could be the beginning of an amazing transformation.
Exactly. The performance to price ratio is much better for ARM. The only barrier to adoption is compatibility, but they seem to have a decent emulation layer for that.
If Valve makes ARM Linux work properly as a gaming/desktop OS, I will uhh hmm.
I will buy this thing.
I wonder if they’re still using Arch for the basis of this. Its ARM version is kinda not so great, although not terrible either.
They’re literally memeing on the store page about it being based on Arch (by the way)
This could be huge for ARM adoption on PC. Exciting stuff!
