ARM Powered Framework? (alien.top)

With the news from Qualcomm about their new chips that compete with the M2, and rumours of AMD working on their own, what are the chances we could eventually see mainboards be offered with Snapdragons or other ARM-based chips in the next 1-2 years?

Rosetta 2 on Mac looks impressive. I think pretty much all Linux and Windows users are hoping that a similarly impressive compatability layer will be developed for our platforms.

It's hard not to be pessimistic though. Windows is generally a shitshow for this kind of thing (I don't use Win 11 but Win 10 still has icons from the Windows 95 days!), and Linux is a Wild West with diverging priorities (look at the transition from Xorg to Wayland).
