And? Linux was on ARM since about beginning.

What relevance does Linux have in this specific context? Does Linux have a marketing team? Does Linux compete on a hardware level with Apple? Is there a Linux corp we haven't heard about that's working with some chip manufacturer we also haven't heard about in order to create ARM processors that can compete with Apple silicon? No? Maybe don't shoehorn Linux into everything regardless of relevance, especially not in such a lane way.

Because compared to other OSes Apple just catches up.

Does Linux have a marketing team?

No marketing team = no enshittification by marketing

Is there a Linux corp we haven't heard about that's working with some chip manufacturer we also haven't heard about in order to create ARM processors that can compete with Apple silicon?

So you agree that transitioning to ARM isn't impressive. Now it's time to show you that making processors isn't something only oh-so-great Yoppl can do. Linux Foundation has its own chip designing subsidiary - CHIPS Alliance. They designed stuff like vector coprocessor, RISC-V core(and older VeeR cores), maintains Chisel HDL and many smaller projects. And I only named what only Linux Foundation does, community and other organizations(including chinese T-head) do even more.

Great, now show me the Linux ARM laptop that's competing with MacBooks at the consumer level. You do have something that's actively turning people away from Apple Silicon, yes?

How is competeing with macbooks at the consumer level is related to enshittification by marketing team becoming managment?

Now me Apple ARM laptop that's competeing with chromebooks.
