MarioI really hope ARM gets its IBM PC equivalent soon
that's what allowed open platforms to flourish on x86 and the alternative is your software support being held hostage by hardware vendors, as we've been seeing happen with embedded devices like whatever phone you're probably reading this post on

@[email protected] arm has always been a "fire and forget" device business model, so nobody cared about standardizing. Just getting Windows to support ARM was a huge multi-year effort that resulted in Armv7 standardizing a few things like interrupts and timers. The closest thing to a reusable computer ecosystem we have on ARM is Raspberry Pi.
