It may be that other companies can compete using ARM/RISC architectures. The only reason the current duopoly exists is the cross licensing between x64 and x86, now that apple has proved ARM can be competitive we will see what happens there!

Already are. Several manufacturers are delving into the ARMs race (get it?). They can't yet quite compete on the same level as Apple's silicon in every metric, but a few more years, and they'll likely have general feature parity.

An ARM laptop that can run mainline Linux out of the box and performs at an M1 level or better would be phenomenal. Sign me up.

I salivate at the thought of Framework making such a motherboard.

Right? We're not there yet, but I bet we will be in the next 5-10 years.

Hoping to be at the point Apple was 4 years ago in 5-10 years is kinda sad.

I meant more that they'd be at feature parity with whatever current gen Apple is on. They're already close or better in some metrics, but Apple silicon is still the clear overall winner.
