Request for a native ARM64 build (improved performance on Surface devices)

Is your feature request related to a problem?
Hello,
I’d love to see an official ARM64 build of this application. I recently bought a new Surface device running Windows on ARM, and using the x86 emulation often impacts both performance and battery life. Given that this application is primarily used in outdoor settings, having a more power‐efficient, native ARM64 version would be ideal for extending battery life and overall usability.
Thank you for considering this request!

Additional context
No response
I tried building on my Yoga Slim 7x, but it seems like some dependencies used today aren't ready to be compiled form ARM - I've had some success bumping some of them, but that'd need a fair bit of testing I'd imagine.I'll see about opening some PRs for bumping some deps to get us inching closer to this!
Disclaimer: I have zero prior experience with cmake, don't get your hopes up too much 😅
