Are we (linux) ready for Arm devices? - lemy.lol

Are we (linux) ready for arm devices like snapdragon elite X? Asahi runs on mac os with arm chips and the software somehow runs better than macos itself?! Is the softwares packaged for arm linux different? Is there much softwares available for the arm platform like softwares available for the intel/amd chipsets? After all are you optimistic about linux and arm?

Linux has been ready for ARM for a long time, Android is linux and have been running for a long time. Also see the Raspberry Pi and PiOS, based on Debian.

I run a Pi and there are boat loads of things ARM ready

The kernel used by Android is Linux, just like the kernel used by PiOS.

You don’t run application softwares on top of kernel. The kernel itself is not an operating system.
It needs certain libraries. I’m talking about software availability on arm linux
