I’ve seen people talking about it and experienced it myself with a server, but why does Linux run so well on ARM (especially compared to Windows)?

    Please do continue. Corrections are appreciated.

    I know that “everybody,” “nobody” and “any” parts were probably too harsh. In reality, the store wasn’t entirely void of activity.

      You are basically correct imo.

      Microsoft has been courting ARM for decades (the 90s had WindowsCE tho that might have been more MIPS than ARM, see Vadem Clio for a product ahead of its time).

      However like many relationships “the time wasn’t right” or “too busy for more than fun” so the courtship has yet to click beyond some neat devices that fizzled.
