<p>An issue that some people may have with using ARM (in the context of laptops/desktops) is architecture compatibility. However, this only applies if we're talking about non-free software. First of all, most operating systems have already been ported to ARM a long time ago, especially OSs such as GNU/Linux and the free BSDs (i.e. FreeBSD, OpenBSD, NetBSD, etc.). As for software, if it's free software it's likely already ported to ARM, or one could simply compile it. In reality, ARM is much more accessible from the free world than it is from the proprietary.</p>
<p>All this considered, it's not certain that ARM will lead the way in software freedom, but currently it provides much more freedom in drivers and even firmware than x86 providers do. To make things better, this freedom comes out of the box instead of through reverse engineering and buggy hacks. Also, as another pro, most non-free applications are not ported to ARM, and therefore it gives you a technical excuse not to use them instead of the "muh freedom" argument that (as most of us free software supporters have discovered) annoys the hell out of our relatives and friends.</p>
