        The Asahi Project even has Fedora Linux running on Apple Silicon Macs, which are ARM-based.

          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.

                      Yes, that too.

                      I guess most arm devices have only Linux implemented.

                        will linux run on arm?

                        Millions of Raspberry Pi say “yes, it will”.

                              Only if you have a very long arm, like Monkey D Luffy.

                                Linux will run on a potato, and it doesn’t even have to have hardware memory management.

                                  From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

                                  Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

                                  Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word “Linux” in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
