gollark: ARM positives:- originally more riscy- more implementations- better power efficiencyARM negatives:- literally has a JS floating point conversion instruction???- horrendous software compatibility; most Android devices run ancient kernels with weird device-specific patches and can never be updated, the bootloaders are weird and inconsistent- now very CISC anyway
gollark: Yes, x86 sort of bad, ARM also horrible in similar ways.
gollark: My laptop spends something like 5 to 10 seconds in UEFI when booting. It *ruins* my boot times. I have to wait 25 seconds, it's ridiculous.
gollark: Also, glacially slow boots.
gollark: Instead you get Microsoft not allowing approved stuff to boot. Unless you disable that setting.
