Some years ago the older hosts in my collection were retired in favor of RPI,
mostly for power saving reasons. I've almost gotten away with it.  IME, 
server and command-line ports that I've tried seem to compile and run
without much trouble on ARM. Apache, BIND, sendmail and even Xorg work
acceptably. Self-hosting was a hair-puller but seems to work ok recently. 

Many moons ago www/chromium compiled and ran on aarch64 (PI3) as did firefox.
If the project offered a precompiled package for any serviceable browser 
it'd help, but the need isn't great enough to warrant more hardware. In a
pinch, Raspbian offers a decent GUI that mostly works.  

I hopped on the ARM bandwagon expecting it to move somewhat faster than
it has. Evidently the hurdles were bigger than anticipated, but the basics 
still work quite well.

Thanks for posting!
