    Anything proprietary will face issues, games being the more obvious one. And you’ll also run into the issue that a lot Linux users do virtualize Windows from time to time and that’s gonna be harder and worse.

    To be frank that’s not my main concern here. It’s the fact that ARM vendors aren’t supporting UEFI and that’s a mess that people usually don’t think about. Right now you’ve kernel tweaks to support the boot specifics and low level shenanigans of ARM-xyz.

    This a problem, there’s much more brands developing ARM chips and boards nowadays than we ever had with intel/amd and the PC vendors were still kind of forced into adopting a unified interface. It’s not feasible to make the OS support hundreds of specific boards and their details. I just hope that Microsoft forces Qualcomm into baking in a proper UEFI so other brands will follow and we finally can treat ARM based stuff as mostly generic systems.
