I myself have invested lots of time porting to other platforms such as PI, JETSON, Arm or Android. If the community is interested in maintaining a platform there should be action. For a long time I haven't seen much effort there. Ideally I like to see several platforms windows for portability reasons. But I question there's bandwidth for that.
