now we need some sort of hw-accelerated x86_64 layer but for linux
- Isn't there already Box64/Box32? Not to mention most Linux software is already compiled for ARM thanks to being open source.
  
  yes, but you'll be missing out on ALL games, none of which are compiled for arm64.
  also no, box64 is not hardware accelerated. both snapdragon and apple m series cpus have hardware magic that makes translation viable at all (as demonstrated by box64's (and even fex) piss poor performance)
