is linux going to crater to 0.01% marketshare after ARM takes over?
>no embrace

>recompile with an ARM compiler
Done.
>b-b-b-but what is a compiler
Ask your favorite AI, luddite.
>b-b-b-but what about binary-only dependencies with no ARM equivalent
If a product only has an x86 firmware or driver, then it's obsolete, and porting FOSS that uses it becomes irrelevant.

Anything else?

I'm going to try to understand what OP is saying
OP is implying that from now on, newer ARM computers (desktops/laptops) will be essentially released with a locked bootloader and wangblows ARM only or google whatever, so compatibility doesn't matter.

You don't get it. The problem is that all the new ARM desktops and laptops have proprietary/nonstandard/locked bootloaders, and even if you manage to get Linux booted, they have poor or no hardware driver support. And manufacturers don't care and don't help the Linux developer community, they're actually glad you can't get a custom OS running, so that the device becomes worthless trash whenever they feel like dropping support, and so you have to throw it away and buy a new one every two years.

Technology has reached a point where even ten year old computers are still useful, and lots of old computers on the second hand market are competing with new ones and driving down prices. Manufacturers hate that and are doing everything to stop it. Everything Richard Stallman ever said about computing freedom is right.
>>
>>108865102
You people are all utterly autistic, it's plain to see that locked down platforms are becoming more and more common (eg. the low end laptop market has been almost consumed by Chromebooks) and a majority of the new arm platforms are like that.

For Linux users, in the not so distant future it's going to be a real problem for you to find a computer that lets you run your os, unless you're okay with buying from specialist vendors like system76 and paying a ~600% inflated price for the same hardware specs. If you care about computing freedom and Linux, stop arguing over autistic semantics and take this threat seriously, it's coming you can count on it.

Well your premise is wrong.
There's a lot of industrial stuff that won't rely on ARM ffs.
ARM is aimed at normies who use mobile crap and laptops.

How many data centers run on ARM?
Also Apple products are toys for normies who like pretty animations and baby-smooth aluminium gadgets.
ARM will not take over, because its advantages are in being low power and smaller binaries, which is mostly for mobile crap.

It's gonna grow from neighbourhoods connecting locally, until ISPs will have no choice but to provide a link.

The corporate internet will eventually crumble and disappear.

>>108862119
The only issue ARM presents for Linux is needing a custom fucking bootloader for every device because they can't just agree on one standard for everything like x86. FOSS user software is unaffected, however. AArch64 Linux distros are not intended to run on my phone, but I can download and run user binaries for those distros and run them on my phone in termux using proot-distro to install the dependencies.

Amazon has quite a few, for starters. Nvidia, Ampere and several other companies are all producing ARM-based server chips as well.

You can go buy a system with an Ampere CPU that uses standard tiano boot. And Macbooks have an unlocked bootloader.
