Qualcomm quietly demos Baldur’s Gate 3 and Control on Snapdragon X Elite laptops
World follows Apple’s lead again, but go ahead Lemmy, complain some more about how Apple is the reason your life is miserable.
No one was interested in an ARM laptop until Apple launched M1.
Edit: downvotes don’t make you right.
I had a buddy who was a Linux ARM laptop fanatic back in like 2014. Microsoft had been trying to make Windows on ARM a thing for years before that.
Apple was the first to popularize it but it’s been a work in progress if you’ve been paying attention for a LOT longer. What helped Apple is all the work they did on their own ARM chips for iOS. They managed to get pretty close to x86 performance in an ARM chip. They also had an app store of apps that could run on them and an emulator for things that wouldn’t.
Every time Microsoft tried nobody would release ARM builds… People just bought the x86 laptops. It’s the same chicken and egg problem desktop Linux has had for years.
