I’ve seen people talking about it and experienced it myself with a server, but why does Linux run so well on ARM (especially compared to Windows)?

    Well MacOS is because of a controlled ecosystem/hardware and a really good emulator, but IDK about Linux

    Also yes Windows on ARM is a steaming pile of garbage

      Yeah. Linux is also optimized to run well. Has a capable community and a few good design choices. Many people use it to run it on servers so I wouldn’t be surprised if it performed well well on servers.

      Also there is a well known fork that is used on millions/billions(?) of ARM phones. So it’d better be a good choice for that use case.

      Not just on ARM. Windows is and will always be a proprietary steaming pile of shit, no matter what architecture. That will be the case as long as Microsoft develops it.
