    ultimately its going to be a game of price to performance. Valves money into arm compatibility due to the steam frame helps with driver support, but ultimately whether arm for linux actually takes off for pc games solely relies on supporting the drivers for each major entry into the arm options.

    also cant really trust nvidia to do it as much so dont expect the largest push to be based on the spark option. what it does is allow ayaneo and ayns to run linux instead of android for some of their devices

      Yeah, the biggest issue is that even the cutting edge arm gpus just don’t pack enough power. I have an arm gaming device, and while it can play a lot of games, it struggles with most modern 3D games. Some of it is compatibilty/support issues, but a lot is just the lack of power these chips have.

      That being said arm devices are great for most indie games, but they’re unlikely to be your only gaming device for the time being.
