gamers depends most games (>90%) will generally run. kernel anti cheat games mostly wont. Nvidia based gamers might run into a few more hurdles. modding select games might prove to be slightly more challenging (mainly the ones that revolve around executables to work) but generally speaking most things in windows have an analog in linux.

version upgrades might change major things so its not pushed onto everybody. if you want a single thing based in rolling updates, thats basically the Arch model. the thing with rolling updates of course is being on the bleeding edge means things also break easier.

i typically imagine the mess of qualcomm drivers is part of the reason why its hard. regardless of the OS, be it windows, android and in this case, linux, driver support has generally been spotty for snapdragon products.

im curious on what the upstream stuff valve is pushing with its steam frame, as its of the few known companies actually paying for development for arm on linux. the device isnt out yet, but should be opened up within the quarter supposedly.
