<![CDATA[ARM computers]]>what is the current state of GNU/Linux on ARM-based machines?
I know a lot of distros offer an ARM build, but ARM fragmentation and software availability seem to still be a dealbreaker for personal use, so that might be the reason why I’ve only heard of ARM server focused devices

I've been pleasantly surprised how little ARM incompatibility I've run into. Even better, when I spin up a cloud VM for personal use I usually choose an ARM based server for cost savings. I know most binaries I compile locally on my laptop will run natively on my cloud servers.

Also once you get to M2 speeds, you can do x86 software emulation for low to mid performance applications.
