I have high hopes. Apple out of the blue just dropped all amd64 computers and also blew their entire competition in the dust.
In 2018-19 this was unimaginable now it's accepted.
Of course RISC-V is the goal which has been progressing really well (you can run a desktop on RISC-V on Debian).
x86 32 bit cpus have their death clock set at 2038 so those will die on their own.
Stay hopeful!
Unless RISC-V widens the instruction set, it will never be used in high perf desktops. Like, there's RISC and then there's RISC-V.
