Why does Linux run so well on ARM
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)?

In 2011 Microsoft released Windows RT, and it was specifically designed to run on ARM hardware. Everyone hated it, and it never really became anything. Well, you can’t blame MS for not trying. Maybe the time just wasn’t right for that sort of radical transition. Everyone was complaining that you can’t even install anything other than the handful of applications available at the store.
Windows 10 and 11 both have ARM versions. 11's ARM version has had some major updates recently.
