I disagree. Legacy software and games can run through translation layers. We already do that with windows software on Linux.
Maintained software doesn’t really have an excuse not to support ARM, unless the developers are woefully incompetent/lazy/personally biased against supporting it.
Legacy software and games mean that ARM PCs will never be anything more than a niche curiosity.
The ISA wars are long over, and x86 won time and time again.

Still no Discord ARM app…
The app for MacOS? On apple silicon doesn’t use Rosetta any longer I believe
Translating syscalls and translating opcodes (especially efficiently) are different things.
And we don’t.
But yes, this is possible and Windows for ARM includes such a translation layer. Except it’s not very good yet.
In some sense ARM everywhere is a nightmare. There’s no standard like EFI or OpenFirmware for ARM PCs.
I hope that changes.
My M1 and M3 beg differ.
You’re Apple crap aren’t PCs according to it’s own marketing.
Not to mention my 9950X could curbstomp both.
