Hey all,
Do anyone know how this will perform with ARM structure, and is/will EVE be supported at this structure?

Hey, does EVE work on ARM, the future processor of many a laptop???
Apple M series devices are essentially ARM, so it kind of is already. The real problem is on a Qualcom/Snapdragon computer one would likely be running a Linux, and the idea of waiting around for CCP to make a native EVE client for linux is laughable.
EvE is working well under Linux and Proton.
Source: My Steam Deck
Steam deck isn’t ARM and I have a whole thread in here documenting how awful linux performance is via wine/proton.
It’s not arm, but it does use linux/proton (but not Wine), and it is an obscure amd apu that even Windows struggles with.
Works fine, I get the memory leak issue that is also known, and is known to happen on other platforms including windows.
EVE installed and ran on my Surface Laptop (X Eliete CPU). But crashed after 5 minutes or so. 2nd try ran for 30 minutes in station… Have not had time to undock yet.
Would be really interested in more information if you are able to test it when you have time
Case is that I am to pick a new laptop soon for work, and looking into the new Surface 7 with the same NPU/CPU.
However, I do not play EVE much from that PC, but staying at a hotel pretty often, it would be nice to have the option.
think they pretty much abandoned the idea of that, since even the one dev that was working on linux for you guys either quit or moved on…
What about Steam on Linux? Steam uses its own wine and proton to run games, so you only need a Steam account and let Steam install EVE for you. That way, you never need to worry about a wine installation. Just let Steam do it for you.
Steam on Linux will not magically recompile EVE for ARM.
But the Windows on Qualcomm is said to have an x86 emulator. It seems this relies heavy on Windows and will not be available in Linux as far as i understood the reports. So the only option would be that someone tries how EVE actually performs - if at all - on Windows on a Qualcomm.
(apart from this i really do not understand why people deliberately buy hardware that they know might pose problems for their usecases)
