[newbie] Why Rock64 can't run native ARM Linux distro out of the box
#1
Dear all, 

why can't ARM SBC like Rock64 just run native ARM distro like openSUSE out of the box like x86 does?

Even Raspberry pi 3 can run openSUSE native ARM image. I have the impression that other native ARM images in future are not guaranteed.

May I know why this is the situation while ARM cpu has huge market share and ARM devices are everywhere....

Why so much effort has to put on OS layer....

Is could improve this and just have ARM SBC run any ARM distro out of the box like any junk x86 ones does.

Thanks
