  • From experience, most apps/packages that are compiled for Linux are compiled for both x86 and arm. I’ve had no real issues getting software on my OnePlus 6 running on postmarket os (full Linux os on a phone basically). This is very likely because ARM is a thing in the server space, so most packages in your distros repositories will be compiled for all architectures (and that’s if it’s not required by the distro’s repos to have the two supported).

    Other software ftom outside the repos where linux was already a second class citizen like discord or Spotify may be troublesome though

    I have a Lenovo slim 7 pro x (14arh7), and everything works perfectly outside the box (depending on your model, maybe the wifi card can give you trouble or require extra drivers though). It has a great large trackpad, 120hz 14.5 inch 3k display, perfect for programming and text with 200% integer scaling, an rtx 3050 for the occasional gaming and a Ryzen 6800hs. The only big downside imo is that the ram is soldered, so I’d suggest finding one with 32gb. I got mine new for 1000cad at the end of 2022 so you could certainly find it for cheaper used.
