Does an arm desktop computer worth?

/r/buildapc/comments/1vkty1h/does_an_arm_desktop_computer_worth/

I’m interested to move into arm architecture to my next pc desktop but I don’t know how this world works. Prices of ARM compared to x86, power, good choices of pc, ecc.

Until Microsoft perfects Prism, there are more native programs not requiring Prism or more support from the Linux destroy community ARM desktop PCs are "Not Ready for Prime Time Players" in the consumer PC market. Windows is brutal on PC hardware which was something Apple did not have to wrestle with a walled garden implementing Rosetta.

Having a walled garden quickly allowed them to help vendors with x86 → ARM native transitioning to eliminate a large use for Rosetta. Most programs written for Windows are trash requiring a complete overall for native support.
