The AArch64 desktop experiment started in 2020 with the Macbook M1 and it ended in 2026 with great success with Apple phasing out support for Intel.

If you think running a Linux desktop on an Ampere is bad, try running it on an M5 Mac!
Which is somewhat useless because it doesn't properly support ACPI/UEFI so that you can boot other operating systems
Linux on apple silicon is a thing though: https://asahilinux.org/
True, but they had to implement their own bootloader chain and because of such overhead they need a lot of effort to port to each new apple SoC generation

Wasn’t booting other operating systems supported from early on (two months after release of M1)? It was reverse engineering the graphics hardware that took time and effort.
