    Afaik windows on arm is still very limited, a lot programs still only support x86.

    And touch ux on linux is not very convenient, I have a touch laptop and have used it with gnome for years, and it has a lot rough edges. Can a linux enthusiast use it? Sure. Would I recommend it to non computer savvy user? No, they won’t enjoy it.

    I tried xfce about a year ago on an old intel atom x86 tablet, it was not usable at all. I read Gnome is the most advanced in touch support, I don’t know how touch friendly is kde nowadays.

    So on windows a user would be limited to basic apps, android has much more options.

      Through their emulation layer you can run basically all modern software runs on it, and even most older games (albeit kinda poorly sometimes). The emulation layer lacks a fun CPU instructions that games or maybe cad software might use. But it’s genuinely pretty good if you’re running it on good hardware. At work we’re primarily a windows shop but the boss man likes Macs so everyone runs windows in a VM and they can do everything they need.
