i mean on pc arm not mobile arm
Linux runs on ARM, as well as on Alpha, ARC, C-Sky, Hexagon, LoongArch, m68k, Microblaze, MIPS, Nios II, OpenRISC, PA-RISC, PowerPC, Power ISA, RISC-V, ESA/390, z/Architecture, SuperH, SPARC, x86, and Xtensa
Raspberry pis are arm based and run linux
If your system is ARM SystemReady certified, then yes.
Linux runs on just about anything, including arches you’ve never heard of. With arm, assuming you can get at the bootloader, your largest problem is likely to be assembling a compatible device tree if the manufacturer doesn’t provide one.
Pretty sure that compared to NetBSD, Linux still runs on relatively few architectures. 😝
Judging from the information on https://wiki.netbsd.org/ports/, this is true, but not as true as it might appear at first glance. Linux for VAX is an obsolete(?) specialty port not available from most distros, and Itanium support has recently been discontinued, but I think Gentoo supports all the other variations listed. So BSD comes out on top by a hair due to continuing second-class VAX and Itanium support. The rest is just lumper-versus-splitter stuff.
Linux has run on ARM procs for some time. Software is a little hit or miss, but most things have a compiled build for it at this point. A lot of the big servers are running ARM processors due to potential power savings.
The popularity of the Raspberry Pi really increased the number of projects with ARM builds as well. It’s been possible to run a pretty decent desktop stack for 10 or 15 years. When the Pi2B came out.
If you happen to run across a project that is not available on ARM you might give a go at compiling it yourself. About half of the time it’s not too difficult and a good beginner project.
The Asahi Project even has Fedora Linux running on Apple Silicon Macs, which are ARM-based.
Yeah it does but it really vary from vendor, arm much locked down to what vendor do
please take your meds.
What PC? Some boards run Armbian:
will linux run on arm?
Millions of Raspberry Pi say “yes, it will”.
only the ARM versions
i mean on pc arm
Yes, that too.
I guess most arm devices have only Linux implemented.
Only if you have a very long arm, like Monkey D Luffy.
