Personally, I'm not interested in downgrading my hardware that far.
However, MorphOS is a better target for that platform than Linux.


By the time anything ARM based is as polished as MorphOS is now on PPC, you'll be able to by a 6th generation rPI several rimes faster than a QuadG5 or even one of the (current) Power8 systems.

you mean by the time OS is ported to ARM, most AMIGA fans will spend their last days in a nursery home?


Not sure how old you are, but I expect ARM (or more precise cheap ARM like used in rPI) to reach that level of power in a few years.

As to porting/polishing the OS..... *shrug* AROS sure has the resources to do it in <5 years, but those resources are spread thin into 2486 directions, MorphOS hasn't really started, real development on AmigaOS68k is hampered in red tape and don't even get me started on OS4.

Did I ever say anything was wrong with x86 ??

I was just pointing out that "ARM is to slow" wasn't a valid argument.
