I guess I don't understand why the M1 makes developing on Graviton easier. It doesn't make Android or Windows ARM dev any easier.

I guess the idea is to run a Linux flavor that supports both the M1 and Graviton on the macs and hope any native work is compatible?



It's not hope; ARM64 is compatible with ARM64 by definition. The same binaries can be used in development and production.

Windows ARM development (in a VM) should be much faster on an M1 Mac than on an x86 computer since no emulation is needed.

Linux, mac or windows ARM64 binaries are not cross compatible by definition, thus my question. Is everyone excited to run a Graviton supported Linux distro on these M1s or is there something else?

I would also be surprised if every M1 graphics feature was fully supported on these Amazon chips.

If we're talking about cross compatibility then we can't use any binaries compiled for any M1 specific features either...So no. Its not compatible by definition.


dev in a linux vm/container on your M1 macbook, then deploy to a graviton instance.
