The steam deck being on a Linux architecture really pushed this forward. Go Linux! And go ARM!

Steam deck is arm? How the hell did I miss that?

That didn't sound right to me since i knew it was AMD. but long story short, no it's x86 64 bit. It's an APU. The CPU portion is this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zen_2

Thanks! I knew that running windows and Linux on arm is weird still especially the latter so that makes more sense

No it’s not ARM. But the arm platform is really promising.
