That's awesome it's going to another processor family, My Zilog Z80 has been itching to upgrade for a while now.



Why not check me out on youtube and help me on the way to 2k subs over at www.youtube.com/stormcloudlive

Mint is based on Ubuntu, which is based on Debian. Good for you, I suppose. And me, since Mint is great and I like it too!

Debian is nice, it is also the distro I use day to day.

I recommend taking a look at Alpine.

Alpine sounds pretty neat. Probably not ideal for my everyday use but pretty neat nonetheless.

Yeah, the repo also leaves much to be desired.
Works very well if you don't care about extra details.

Qualcomm is not making  an X86 CPU, Microsoft is creating a layer that can translate X86 binaries to an ARM CPU, which is entirely legal and has been done for quite a while (like QEMU and Exagear).

IBM is only focused on POWER at the moment as well.

So this windows build could run (including apps) on any ARM CPU?

Technically, yes. As long as Windows supports the SoC.
