Are we (linux) ready for arm devices like snapdragon elite X? Asahi runs on mac os with arm chips and the software somehow runs better than macos itself?! Is the softwares packaged for arm linux different? Is there much softwares available for the arm platform like softwares available for the intel/amd chipsets?

After all are you optimistic about linux and arm?

      Stallman has absolutely no say about what makes Linux. His tools, though important to the free software movement, are not necessary to create a Linux distribution.

      There is NO GNU/Linux. Stallman doesn’t get to name or claim ownership of someone else’s baby. It’s Linux, so named by its creator.

      It may not be “GNU/Linux” (whatever that stupid name means) but it’s still Linux. If it uses the Linux kernel, then it’s Linux, simple as. No one said it has to be *nix to be considered Linux. And even then Android is *nix. You can actually run many Linux programs if you have root access or by using Termux. If Android isn’t Linux to you, Alpine Linux shouldn’t be either.
