I know it would be a huge task, but at this point I believe it's worth considering a port (rewrite) to ARM, due to the high number of platforms it could run on. Being able to play movies and TV through DVB-T cards made me think about one application: SmartTV minus spyware/adware. Which of course would imply other applications like kiosks, industrial automation control panels, etc. Just add a higher level language environment to ease writing applications and users will come.

> minus spyware

The problem of trust towards the hardware remains...

Rewrite is a completely new project

ARM is nice and all (typeing this on an M1), but for something written in Assembler, that would almost be a rewrite.

Well, not exactly, as long as the design is kept the same; also, translation from the x86 assembly to the arm assembly is not unheard of.

I can speak from experience when I say it's not trivial.

Although doable, but very time consuming and prone to error.
