Happy Birthday to the #Arm Architecture! 🥳 🎉

Today marks 40 years since the very first ARM chip was powered on; a major milestone in computing history. It has been a remarkable journey ever since. I still vividly remember purchasing the first commercial ARM-based computer around 1988, just a few months after Acorn Computers brought it to market. At the time, it was nothing short of revolutionary.

New in Fedora: Running x86 programs on ARM systems fedoramagazine.org/new-in-fedo

«The newly released Fedora KDE Plasma Desktop 42 introduces out-of-box support for running x86 and x86-64 programs on ARM systems. This is accomplished by leveraging the emulation stack originally developed for Fedora Asahi Remix. This work is now integrated into Fedora Linux proper. This makes it available for all ARM systems running Fedora Linux, not just Apple Silicon Macs».

There are a number of mainboard options available for Ampere Altra ARM-based servers.

I would ideally like to buy a 128 core or higher 1U or 2U rackmount machine for running a (if possible, type 1) hypervisor and several Linux and FreeBSD instances on top.

Which boards/vendors can you recommend, which should be avoided? Are there any ARM-based alternatives you could recommend?
