> Yeah, until the developers decide to release only for Arm targets and when you search issues for x86 build, the maintainer says "just compile it yourself"...

Until we start seeing reasonably priced, performant ARM desktops and laptops, there is little worry of that. Right now outside Apple, performance on ARM isn't good enough for any kind of great developer experience (or any kind of pro experience). Unless that changes significantly, x86 is going to be dominant on non-Macs for some time.

On desktops yes, ARM rules on mobile devices and plenty of us code for them, and on Android unless you are doing CRUD like apps, most likely there is some C or C++ code as well.
