Came here to say this. They wrote the playbook that has spelled the end or at least shitification of so many standards, open-source or otherwise(but usually still free-to-use or at least cheap).

Technically, the Nintendo Switch uses Linux, and Android is Linux, so its kind of absurd the pushback Steamdecks are getting from these people. They aren’t afraid of Linux; They are afraid of the posibility of running a terminal and interacting with a Desktop Environment that isn’t Windows or MacOS. Doesn’t make any sense.
Multi-core processors already do this. Give the Android OS a Core or 4, the Linux OS a Core or 4(or however many). The power management already works in the suggested configuration as well: High-power cores are put to sleep when not in use.
The remaining question is whether the hardware virtualization is in place on the specific ARM chip in question to give/confine the one OS(virtualized/parallelized, not dual-booted) a specific Core or set of cores. It could be desirable to give Linux and Android each a low-power core and have them dynamically split the rest, with Linux controlling prioritization.
There are high-powered Linux apps. Moreso than Android in-fact.
CentOS no longer offers support for users who re-enable those things. AlmaLinux has in theory committed to keeping those things set so that users don’t have to manually re-enable them, and that to keeping them working, at least for now.
On the off chance that ALL THAT is true, it would be “restoring support” … but I have no skin in this game and doubt that many, if any, CentOS users would be swayed to a new distro like so.
Here I was hoping we would get a breakdown on the companies making ARM processors … Still an informative comments section.
Yeah, that would be the marketting bs, probably.
