Apart from the potential to use Rust or another language for parts of the kernel, this part is exciting:
“I think that the fact Apple is moving to Arm will help the Arm ecosystem from a development standpoint… I’m hoping that in a few years there will be a powerful Arm desktop that can actually be used for development.”
Ah I see. This really is going to be interesting to watch, because with software like adobe I saw someone say they might use a method to port to arm that could allow for easy porting to other ARM os like linux and windows.

I don’t know much about linux on arm but what makes manjaro arm not powerful?
i think linus was talking about hardware
Yeah, it’s the hardware (but also some userspace software are likely not optimized or compatible yet with aarch64 because it’s less used).
This blog post has a good overview - many of the readily available desktop ARM options currently perform as well as… an Intel Atom
