  • Google Chrome launches Windows on Arm support

    From OSnews@21:1/5 to All on Sat Jan 27 19:12:33 2024
    One of the problems with Arm-based Windows laptops has been a lack of app support, but there's big news this week as Google Chrome has unexpectedly debuted its first Windows on Arm build.

    Hey now - there's also 7-zip XD

    OK, that’s three. Is that one app going native a year? Looks like Windows- on-ARM--sorry, Windows-on-Qualcomm-ARM--is really going gangbusters now.
