I too have wished for years that Amiga OS developers would just ditch the now dated and no longer viable PPC architecture (PPC chip development is no longer focused on computer development, but instead is now completely geared towards integration within appliances and other SFF technology), and instead move forward with an Amiga OS for x86 architecture.

Doing this would instantly remove the need for proprietary hardware, which is always expensive, suffers from delays and short manufacturing runs, and therefore is always hard to source. In contrast x86 architecture is readily available off the shelf, is cheap, and current Linux driver architecture could surely be used to improve compatibility.

It would also suddenly open up the Amiga OS to current PC technology, rather than that of the past. This would surely entice more game and productivity developers to start making products for the Amiga again. Much like Windows, Linux, and now Mac OS, the technology behind the OS is completely the same. It is just the OS and what it can do that makes the difference. This brings great choice to the user, who only has to invest in a single hardware platform, but then has access and the ability to run whichever OS and software they wish. Much better than having a load of custom proprietorial hardware platforms, each incompatible with each other, as was the case in the past.
