Windows for ARM compatibility?

[jesseleite]

For context, I'm running Windows 11 for ARM through Parallels on my M1 Macbook. Most things seem to work fairly well, except Cmder isn't compatible with ARM. Maybe it would be worthwhile to document Windows for ARM compatibility in the Laragon docs?

Cmder and the dependencies have been working for ARM support (mostly @chrisant996's valued work) for a while now:
cmderdev/cmder#2633

If you're still on ARM64, we'll appreciate your valued feedback if you could please test out the latest unreleased builds of Cmder there and open issues that you might see. The 32bit x86 will be getting dropped in either Cmder 1.4.x or Cmder 2.0 in favor of ARM64.

As it can't be fixed from Laragon. That's why I'll close this issue. Unfortunately, Cmder ARM support doesn't seem to be solved.

Meanwhile, maybe Microsoft Terminal is an upcoming candidate. There's a store version, too. https://apps.microsoft.com/detail/9n0dx20hk701

We at Cmder are also considering moving away from ConEmu to Windows Terminal.

It would be beneficial to include WT version of Cmder in Laragon, because of the included Clink and its completion utilities. We also have Powershell and bash profiles.

If you are considering this, using git submodules would be beneficial, instead of using a modified version of Cmder, that way Laragon users can benefit from updates to Cmder profiles.

1. Laragon offers choices - perhaps a choice of Cmder and Windows Terminal (and native CMD and native Powershell) would be a good idea.

2. I would love to see a Bash shell (ideally zsh) integrated into Laragon / Cmder etc.
