We’ve been using X Elite Snapdragon laptops (Thinkpad T14s and Yoga Slim running Ubuntu’s concept images) to build large amounts of ARM software without the need for cross-compiling. The hardware peripheral support isn’t 100% yet (good enough) but I’ve been impressed with the performance.

ARM seems to be popular in the server space and it’s nice to see it trickling down to the PC market.

Trickling? Apple’s been on ARM for five years with great results.

Yes, and Tahoe was recently announced to be the last MacOS that supports intel hardware at all. Future versions will require Apple silicon.
