    There aren’t any ARM manufacturers that upstream their drivers, and no SystemReady support from any manufacturers

    Basically every package works on ARM, but the lack of manufacturer support for hardware means ARM effectively requires a special kernel build for every PC

    RaspberryPi has worked on upstreaming their Broadcom SoC, Collabora had worked on upstreaming the RK3588 SoC…

    None of Qualcomm’s recent chips are very usable (always missing something like audio, or other basic functionality)

    Asahi Linux worked on Apple M1/M2 support

    Unless a new ARM manufacturer comes along, general use ARM PCs are a long way away
