i personally think yes but it will take some years to fix the problem of most apps not working there.

what do you think?

    The only future? No.

    Arm and risk V will be around in places where x86 doesn’t make sense. Embedded computing, single board computers, low power consumption devices.

    This future, unfortunately, appears to be rented thin clients and smartphones/tablets, for most people.

    So… technically, yes, the future is ARM? As those things will often use that.

      i saw this view a lot on pcmr when i was using reddit. but it doesn’t make sense,there is no evidence thin clients are the future. internet speeds aren’t even good enough for most people worldwide for that to be the future.

      so why do you think its the future?

        Because that’s what industries are pushing for?

        For home use, tons of people don’t even own laptops anymore. Microsoft is working on Windows thin clients (albiet under a different name) for business. Nvidia and others are pushing subscription gaming, as they constrict consumer hardware.

        I would say cost because of capitalism. It’s very cheap to run, subscription based, low cost entry, push ads, data gathering, and just about any device can run it regardless of OS or performance.

        It doesn’t need to reach everyone, just the ones willing to pay for it.

        I’m not in favor of it but I do see why it would make sense for some people
