Yeah, in the current macro environment Qualcomm isn't that tied down & can afford some changes (basically with a few of their biggest partners that can keep their profits up even in a few transitioning years). Not sure what prompted ARM to force such a deal instead of getting like a good compromise.

But also fuck Qualcomm & their closed-softwareness.

Im still hoping I can buy a RISC-V laptop (from Framework?) in 2 or 3 years & just run Linux normally.
And if that can happen & RISC-V still doesn't overall prosper it's bcs of some shitty greedy deals between megacorps.
