I use Leo on Win and MacOS daily. Will the move to ARM make any difference to Leo as things stand at the moment?

I'm not that certain, because I think it will need QT5 compiled for ARM, and then pyqt5 recompiled to match. That should happen sometime, but maybe not right away.

There is talk of Rosetta2 that should make it relatively painless to install/run Intel versions of such...but indeed, the source is open, someone just needs to cmake it so. ;)
