It’s not identical? They are different architectires.

Sure but with FEX it shouldn’t matter

What does the architecture of the CPU have to do with the disk format? Nothing lol, linux arm can use ext4, btrfs, xfs etc same as it’s x86 counterpart

Any binaries saved on the SD card would need to be duplicated to both x86 and ARM.

No they have FEX which translates x86 to arm instructions

Despite being ARM CPUs and Linux based machines, I’m pretty sure most of what they play is Windows x86 binaries.

What I will find fascinating is that if Linux does get a major foothold this might be the way that we actually transition off of x86 because of having all these different translation layers and then we can start creating new and interesting CPU architectures that would be more efficient than stuff that’s been sitting from the 80s but still having the backwards compatibility through translation layers
