When Apple, Google, and all ARM based things actually run something other than Angry Birds, Chinese Adware Strange Rope Hero and Pokemon ripoff games for babies with video and malware app adds and closed "walled garden" "app store" ecosystems where you have to pay $10 or more for even an mp3 or video player, let me know. Otherwise all this mysterious "performance" is even more useless than a 75mhz Pentium from 1996. When anyone can actually program for ARM without "licensing fees" also let me know.
Wow what a gross mischaracterization of macOS to say nothing of Android and iOS. If that’s all you think is on the app stores (which is not required on any of these OSes!), then you need to broaden your horizons and look around.
There are lots of great apps on all these platforms that do all kinds of excellent useful stuff.
Regarding programming for ARM, last I checked you can just specify the target architecture in Go or Rust and off it goes. For C and C++, it’s as easy as sudo apt-get install gcc-arm-linux-gnueabihf
If you’re waiting for systems like this that can run FreeBSD, well, you’re in for a wait. How long is the actual point of my post - who knows when hardware of this caliber with open drivers will be available or common.
