    Can someone do a quick explainer of what this move to ARM means for free computing? The prospects for hassle-free installation of alternative OSs? Is it good news or bad?

      The good news are on RISCV. ARM has even more closed source bootloader and binary driver blobs than x86 architecture. It’s supposed to be good power efficiency over Intel for a laptop, but not so sure about amd.
