From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

that's basically all you need to know. they make arm CPUs
What kind of workstation? Is your software fully compatible with arm and the gpu stack?
I would verify that the new Nvidia gpus work well with the arm-kernel; Though I cant possibly imagine why it would differ to x86_64. I don't know though.
Personally I would not consider any Nvidia card for linux. Simply due to the fact that nvidia may hide capabilities after the purchase. If you need e.g. virtualization in the future the flag may already hidden or change afterwards by nvidia (happend before). They will force a non-consumer card at you for this.
I am a happy linux-arm user.
