Greets, everybody . . .
Insomnia led me to this:

In case you don't want to watch it (though Christopher Barnatt is highly enjoyable),
it is the quick and easy construction of an ARM desktop PC, which seems pretty cool and
which is both inexpensive and uses next to no electricity.
It automagically installs Debian with KDE.
My desktop machine is approaching 10 years old. Some drives will need replacement soon.
Seeing this video, I wondered if a different approach might be in order.
But I'm unclear as to the cross compatibility of the architectures. There are a few
concerns I have, the two main ones being the Proton applications and TDE. (I've been
spoiled in that almost everything -- but not Proton stuff -- has worked perfectly on the
Raspberry Pi.)
So, there being substantial knowledge here, I have a question: Why is it a bad idea to
build an ARM-based desktop machine?
Thanks.
