Unlikely. There is more Linux devices running as Android on ARM than any other processors. You I can run Termux on ARM Android with complete set of of GNU tools. Also ARM is supported natively by Debian and Ubuntu [1].

Once devs will sort out their new shiny ARM Macs whoes (Docker, other tooling) I smell there may be ARM server market rising soon.

Amazon already offers EC2 A1 (ARM64) instances available, and I'm sure Nvidia's purchase of ARM is going to bear fruit in the data center.

AMD's Epyc chips are pretty awesome though too so I don't think x64 is on it's death bed.. but it should be an interesting couple of years watching this space heat up.
