    The main issue with ARM is the lack of UEFI for most devices, which means you can’t boot a generic system on most ARM devices.

    Based on everything described, it sounds more like a lack of support and optimization rather than a fundamental flaw in arm

      Yes. I may be biased but the Arm architecture itself is fine and pretty performant on modern SoCs. Once the system vendors actually manage to ship something without a broken PCIe bus is happily daily drive it.

      Hell if I could reliably get EL2 I’d even spring for one of the Snapdragon laptops.

    I’ve used ARM Windows 11 on a MacBook in virtualization and it seems fine to me. Even runs x86 games with decent performance.
