I was pretty hyped up for ARM for it's RISC architecture and low power usage (I was thinking of making me a meme handheld with my own tiny OS) but then I find out:
>most boards come with unreplaceable firmware
>almost every component has a separate backdoor OS (ThreadX for VideoCore in Aspieberry Pi for example)
>SoC producers try to lock down every single piece in fear someone will understand their shitty design and find their botnet
>can't compile your own kernels, can't get decent OpenGL performance, can't do shit because of the lockdowns
x86
>can replace firmware
>everything is accesible thru memory mapping and port i/o (except some ethernet and video cards but that's none of intel's fault, they got FOSS drivers for iGPU)
>top performance
why wouldn't Intel deserve it's monopoly? try not to get up in your feelings and respond logically
