This ^^^^^. Specifically if you want to run an EL distro there are good
choices that offer ARM support and come with stock postfix and dovecot

versions of Postfix and Dovecot than that offered by the stock distros) then
I'm afraid you're stuck with x86_64 for now. Similarily you might have issues
with other supporting software that is only available from 3rd-party repos or
where 3rd-party repos have newer versions taht you want to use, but not for ARM.
Is this a common thing with Linux distros? I've not dabbled there in ages, but on the
various *BSDs they tend to have a designation for each architecture, for example FreeBSD
at some point moved most ARM variants to "Tier 1" which generally means there's
parity with x86 for the average user.
It's not the distro. It's common for Linux distros to fully support
ARM, but that does not put any obligation on 3rd-party distros, just
like if someone were to create a 3rd-party distro for BSD it would be up
to them to decide which arches they want to support and that does not
reflect on the support by the distro itself.
