Most things are fine on arm these days

MacOS? Yes. Linux? Sure. Android? Obviously. Windows? Not a chance!

And seeing this is designed for laptops, your options will be either Linux or Windows. The comment is on point.

The benchmarks from this article are running on Windows 11 Arm...

Oh don't get me wrong, it definitely runs!

But have you tried using it as a daily driver? Most things will break. I discovered this the hard way by installing it in a Raspberry Pi

Was it just because it was arm, or because it was a raspberry pi and had too little of everything else windows likes to hog up? There's several major laptop manufacturers that are planning to sell laptops with these. I doubt that would be the case if they were all functionally broken to the consumer.

Caveat for all platforms running wine applications. So Linux is fine, except when running windows applications.

Well, mostly, there do exist binary only Linux applications too. Business applications and also some games with native Linux support.
