Meet the Raspberry Pi 3 Model A+

sorry wat? Raspberries run Raspbian which is mostly C libraries. That's not entirely true, but assuming it is... C doesn't need to be written with the architecture in mind except in very special cases (maximum performance audio/video decoding or UI rendering on the CPU) and those are already optimized in special cases for ARM in big libraries like FFMPEG or Qt Just because something is written in C does not mean it's been compiled for ARM. And even if it is, a lot of the things that are written for Intel architecture have a totally different use case than for ARM. ARM is awesome for IOT things, and also pretty good for network type stuff like Pi-Hole, but that doesn't mean ARM is a slot-in replacement for Intel.
