There's some nice things about arm and risc-v being open source is cool but here's the thing: I have a nice Linux arm laptop. There's so much infrastructure on PC architecture you immediately notice if you're not using it.
To get Linux on the laptop and using all the hardware, it was a multi year ordeal including mashing multiple distros from dodgy unmaintained GitHub repositories together.
Until I see more robustness from other platforms supporting software infrastructure, I'm keen to stick with x86-64 despite the potential advantages.
