New in Fedora: Running x86 programs on ARM systems - Fedora Magazine
"To make it possible to run x86 programs via emulation, we leverage several tools, each solving a specific problem:
FEX, a fast emulator that can run x86 and x86-64 programs on ARM Linux hosts
muvm, a tool that can run another program inside a microVM
binfmt-dispatcher, a simple dispatcher that can dynamically pick the best emulator to use when an x86 or x86-64 program is started
With this setup, when a non-native program is run, the kernel invokes binfmt-dispatcher via the binfmt_misc interface. The dispatcher picks the best emulator to use. This is based on the program, the system it’s running on, and its own configuration. "
Passing the torch on Asahi Linux
"As the remaining developers, we are taking this as an opportunity to build sustainable project governance. No matter how talented an individual, a large project cannot rest on a single person’s shoulders. So instead of one replacement… we have seven"
Resigning as Asahi Linux project lead
"I knew burnout was a very real risk and managed this by limiting my time spent on certain areas, such as kernel upstreaming. This worked reasonably well and was mostly sustainable at the time. Then 2024 happened." - marcan
Tor Browser for ARM architecture (#12631)
This looks like the overarching issue for tracking ARM support for the desktop version. It also looks like it may be possible to build the Linux version for aarch64 from source as of late 2024.

"A community-driven list of software (apps and games) that work, are emulated or don't work on Windows on ARM"
Been hearing a lot about the new Snapdragon ARM chips. SO curious. Too bad they only roll them out for windows.
Has anyone had a chance to play around with them ?!
