Linux runs on just about anything, including arches you’ve never heard of. With arm, assuming you can get at the bootloader, your largest problem is likely to be assembling a compatible device tree if the manufacturer doesn’t provide one.
Linux has run on ARM procs for some time. Software is a little hit or miss, but most things have a compiled build for it at this point. A lot of the big servers are running ARM processors due to potential power savings.
The popularity of the Raspberry Pi really increased the number of projects with ARM builds as well. It’s been possible to run a pretty decent desktop stack for 10 or 15 years. When the Pi2B came out.
If you happen to run across a project that is not available on ARM you might give a go at compiling it yourself. About half of the time it’s not too difficult and a good beginner project.
