Imagine Linux on an Arm SoC that benchmark better than Apple's M2 Max!
youtu.be
Qualcomm brought a company named Nuvia, which are ex-Apple engineers that help designed the M series Apple silicon chips to produce Oryon which exceeds Apple’s M2 Max in single threaded benchmarks.
The impression I get is than these are for PCs and laptops
I’ve been following the development of Asahi Linux (Linux on the M series MacBooks) with this new development there’s some exciting times to come.

I hope for Microsoft to just give up and build a new "windows“ which is just an other Linux distro xD
Ducking windows can’t even clone the Linux kernel right now
IIRC Microsoft’s woes in the ARM space is two-fold. First is the crushing legacy compatibility and inability to muster developers around anything newer than win32, and second was signing a deal to make Qualcomm the exclusive ARM processors for Windows for who knows how long.
Deal is going to expire in 2024!
That'd be based, but I don't think there's anything in that for them.
Well, I’m sure they find a way.
They're a platform company that provides services. They could build proprietary services on top of a Linux distro. Basically the same as they're doing now with Edge.
