I’ve seen people talking about it and experienced it myself with a server, but why does Linux run so well on ARM (especially compared to Windows)?

Please do continue. Corrections are appreciated.

I know that “everybody,” “nobody” and “any” parts were probably too harsh. In reality, the store wasn’t entirely void of activity.

You are basically correct imo.

Microsoft has been courting ARM for decades (the 90s had WindowsCE tho that might have been more MIPS than ARM, see Vadem Clio for a product ahead of its time).

However like many relationships “the time wasn’t right” or “too busy for more than fun” so the courtship has yet to click beyond some neat devices that fizzled.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word “Linux” in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
