  > An iPad with a keyboard running on an ARM chip might honestly be a great computer for the vast majority of users, but I don’t see my requirements fitting into that box - at least for the next five years.

  I’d really like to know more about what you mean by that.

  How does a developer’s or power user’s experience depend on the CPU architecture?

  Looking forward to the follow-up article in the hope for a little more background.

  I did this: installed Ubuntu 20.04 LTS and i3 (specifically regolith’s take on i3 using their PPA). (Regolith-Linux.org)

  I’m never going back to MacOS for work but will buy an ARM Mac for personal as I’m still very much in the ecosystem.
