I love this! I just cannot wait for the day that I can build a RISC or ARM64 desktop in the same way we would an Intel or AMD one. I realize though that this is still a ways out.
It’s probably gonna happen sooner than you think, I’m happy to say. You can already buy desktop motherboards that come with decently powerful ARM CPUs. The options are very limited of course and you’re probably not gonna have the best experience, but we’re getting there.
A ton of stuff we take for granted will have to be recompiled and you can forget even trying to use Proton to play x86/x64 Windows games without some weird flaky hacks and actual virtualization, since it’s only a translation layer.

Sweet! That is good news. Given the power efficiency of ARM CPUs when compared to Intel and AMD, well, there just really is no comparison.

okay? so stop making progress because some games might not work? doesn’t sound reasonable.
I’m not saying that. I’m saying there’s a lot of work to do ahead.
ah, well that’s a reasonable take. cool profile pic btw!

so is mine 💁♂️
We said the same about ARM a while back
You say that, but people already got Stardew Valley to work on RISCV Linux!
Note that it is a link to Reddit. The post is made by the Box64 developer though, that’s why I linked it.
