It’s odd that Linux is lagging so far behind the closed OS’s in ARM support. I think Linux server distros were the first OS’s to support ARM and they’re the biggest users of it today by far. I did not know there were ARM based Windows machines, let alone as far back as 2017.

Linux has plenty of ARM support, pretty much every SBC with an ARM processor has a flavor of Linux for it. Armbian is a 100% volunteer project, so the fact that someone picked up this at all is interesting.
But vendors like Lenovo have no interest in supporting Linux beyond a token effort, both due to the slim marketshare and the fact that they can load a winblows machine up with shovelware for those sweet sweet advertising partner dollars.
