I’ve seen people talking about it and experienced it myself with a server, but why does Linux run so well on ARM (especially compared to Windows)?

    I don’t think it’s just Linux. I’ve been told MacOS also works very well on ARM. Maybe it’s just Microsoft doing a bad job.

      Well MacOS is because of a controlled ecosystem/hardware and a really good emulator, but IDK about Linux

      Also yes Windows on ARM is a steaming pile of garbage

        Not just on ARM. Windows is and will always be a proprietary steaming pile of shit, no matter what architecture. That will be the case as long as Microsoft develops it.
