From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Why tho? AMD's 7840HS performs better at 35W and is x86_64.
Because anyone who works at the assembly level tends to think that the x86_64 ISA is garbage.
To be fair, aarch64 is also garbage. But it's less smelly garbage.
That being said, I'm not expecting any of these CPUs to be hanging in the Sistine Chapel. So whatever works, I guess.
