Hey! Does anybody have any information about if and when a company might offer ARM64 for general desktop use? I would like to build my own in the same way that I might build a desktop PC out of an Intel or AMD processor.

There is a standardised boot flow. The SBSA architecture specifies minimum specs, firmware interfaces and how platform initialisation works. You can buy Windows on Arm machines that follow this and boot any modern Arm distro on them. It's currently a small selection but it's growing.
