With Qualcomm announcing new laptop Snapdragon chip, Arm based FW would be insanely good for both performance and battery life. They claim it beats Apple’s M2(I am skeptical about this), but even something on par with it in terms of battery life would be ground breaking for many of us
Hehe I think maybe I want direct enough with my questions, based on the two answers above.
I basically only use stuff included with the distro, which with Ubuntu and pop os is a lot. All of that stuff world on arm just fine.
(Yes there are different ARM targets, but that’s true of Intel too…)
There are only two third party precompiled binaries I use: light works and result sync. Resilio sync comes with an arm version. Light works, I haven’t checked - but since they support apple silicon, one can assume that if desktop arm Linux became popular, they would support it.
One of the reasons I love Linux is freedom to choose your processor instead of being locked in, so …
Curious what other people might be running that only works on specific processors.
