      x86 hardware is standardized in a way where you don’t need to port an os to them, it just runs with generic drivers.

      arm still needs a custom kernel and conpletely different drivers to even boot, because every manifacturer can implement it completely differently.

      there are efforts to fix this (namely project mainline and some work on uefi standards) but they arent done and wont be for a good while.
