If there are no "fast" processors why even bother trying to port a general purpose OS like Fedora to it.
Because it's an open API as in actually open, (not bullshit open like OpenAI) and people like that. There are also other factors than speed, like energy consumption, size and price, and of course security, which is becoming a huge issue with traditional products that have back doors.
But for now the major factor is the openness, which means everybody can make one without having to pay license fees to anybody.
There are no fast processors “yet”
