ARM64 for the masses (lemmy.goblackcat.com)

Hey! Does anybody have any information about if and when a company might offer ARM64 for general desktop use? I would like to build my own in the same way that I might build a desktop PC out of an Intel or AMD processor.

One possible way forward would be to use the same standards of the PC, running an initialisation system like UEFI into an hypervisor, or a simple single-core x64 co-processor.

Of course, a lot more work would need to be done for that to be useful and reproducible across vendors, but at least you wouldn't be perpetually 40+ years behind the curve.
