x86 has a a mature open source driver system especially for graphics. Although there are great reverse engineering efforts (Collobra and others), with ARM SOCs you can find yourself dependent on blobs for graphics and locked into ancient and insecure Android and Linux images.

Graphics is "fixable" as you can stick a PCIe video card into an ARM or RISC-V system that has PCIe and it will work. Integrated graphics is a mess, that's true. But then so is NVIDIA drivers (Do they ever care for graphics any more or is it just LLMs go brrr for them?).

Yet people are running games[0] on their MILK-V Jupiter boards, using the same discrete GPUs that you would on an x86 system.

Meantime, companies such as PowerVR or ARM are funding their own open source mesa3d drivers.
