    Loongson has its own instruction set similar to MIPS/RISCV which primarily targets Linux. IIRC there are windows builds that can run on the chip, but that says nothing for most of the windows software which is compiled for for x86/x86_64. Linux shines here because most everything that’s open-source can simply be recompiled by anyone and/or made available through binary distribution repos.
