Too bad it's only x86(64)-compatible. Even port to ARMv8 (Raspberry Pi especially) could help to increase the interest to this OS.

Today, I'd instead look at 64bit RISC-V, as that's where computing seems to be going.

Really? Please show me a production server based on RISC-V, dont get me wrong i would love that, but reality being reality ARM is something atm..and not RISC-V...nor POWER...hmhmmm..

The first ones (e.g. based on Ventana's Veyron) are due H2 this year.
ARM has some cursory presence in the datacenter today, but I wouldn't bet on ARM being more predominant than RISC-V there by 2025.
If anything, migration of servers to ARM has halted because decision makers can read the writing on the wall.

I see the opposite here...

Sure Apple and all Smartphones will change to RISC-V, look i would love to believe that, it's just not the reality. But if you talk about microcontroller'ish stuff, then you are probably right that risv will be more dominant in 2025.
