I wonder if they're still using Arch for the basis of this. Its ARM version is kinda not so great, although not terrible either. permalink fedilink source hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] merdaverse@lemmy.zip 11 points 9 months ago (1 child) This could be huge for ARM adoption on PC.

The performance to price ratio is much better for ARM. The only barrier to adoption is compatibility, but they seem to have a decent emulation layer for that. permalink fedilink source parent [–] Natanael@infosec.pub 7 points 9 months ago They're literally memeing on the store page about it being based on Arch (by the way) permalink fedilink source parent
