A comment on ARM64 Linux Workstation.

It's cool that Arm64 chips are catching up in speed, but the software support has been there for a long time.

When I bought my Raspberry Pi several years back, I was able to comfortably develop using Emacs, gcc, and SBCL Common Lisp - the same software I use on my AMD desktop. Everything I needed "just worked"; compiling just wasn't very fast.

Ha, Emacs, sbcl and gcc are exactly what I've been using for development for the past few months on my Raspberry Pi 4 desktop replacement.

If you have two raspi, 4GB and 8Gb models, you can use tmux, btop to check your memory and cpu levels.
