your thoughts about this. thank you btw

for me the more competition the better

My thoughts exactly.

nVidia has historically made good silicon and ARM seems efficient at handling modern workloads.

Seems like a win to me.

Computer code built for x86 chips will not automatically run on Arm-based designs, and the transition could pose challenges.

Sounds like a good time to familiarize oneself with Linux.

arent there emulators for this type of thing? i'm not well versed in these matters that's why i ask

This isn't something software can override...architecture implies how the system stores and retrieves memory and processes tasks.

Take a Corvette engine and transmission and try to shove it in a Dodge van...it won't work, but if it somehow does, it likely won't live long.

I've been Linux only since forever. I currently use Bottles flatpak to run windows apps. Almost no issues.

The best option would be using a virtual machine to run older software. Not great, but the software would function.

However, any existing version of Microsoft would not function...no idea if they're already working on one.
