@Oleksii @robinsyl #ARM64 grows because #Intel and #AMD basically gave up delivering compareable computing power in the same thermal, electrical and price envelope.

• See Z3735F (2,2W), N3010 (3W) & x5-E8000 (4W) having no successors of equally low TDP or even lower in production! The closest ist the i3-N300 (7W) and N95 (15W) respectably.

Add to it the rise of #SBCs like #RaspberryPi that further kicked the cost down in terms of basic computing and the big #Linux #community that welcomes cheap #hardware and does it's best to put it to good use.

• See the #MNTreform by @mntmn, which embraces #ComputeModules and doesn't have any #amd64 #mainboard (or rather #SOM) option AFAIK...

It truly confirms @landley 's saying that #Innovation in Computing it actually trickling up and thus #tech gets moved from the #Desk to the #Rack to "the #Cloud"...

• I mean, in many #DevelopingCountries the #Desktop and #Laptops get skipped for very cheap #Smartphones and cheaper #Tablets to the point that regular #PC's ain't common outside of businesses and government offices...

Obviously, I wished for truly #OpenSource'd #RISCv to take the place but that's about 5-25 years lagging behind #ARM due to #patents in many key technologies like #PowerSaving...

• But we've to admit that on a global scale, #Flathub is a #RoundingError in terms of #SoftwareDistribution, because not every Desktop - Linux distro supports it, much less uses it per default!

@mrmasterkeyboard @hexaheximal In terms of architectures I'm mostly limited by time, hardware that I have access to and toolchain support.

• If @musl / #musl (or rather the musl-cross binaries) and #toybox as well as #Linux and #Clang / #LLVM or #GCC support go and #boot is documented porting is relatively "easy"…

• _OS/1337 OFC doesn't have much to it so compared to #AdelieLinux, it should be straightforward.

#OS1337 on #Xenon is quite low on the list but still not on the bottom because I have systems in my possession. Unlike "normal" #32bit #PowerPC systems.

• Mind you I have exactly 0 "#PowerSaving" or other energy optimizations in _OS/1337 (or even multithreading) support built-in, which on most modern systems results in dogshit performance below rated base clock because modern CPUs and Chipsets expect the OS to communicate with them and if it doesn't they gonna assume the OS is fubar and drop into failsafe modes. With some luck they may even prevent the CPU from frying itself and turn on the fan on their own.

I don't have much hands-on aside from mainstream #ix86 / #x86 / #amd64 Systems and #ARMv5r11 / #ARM64 SBCs.

This update is live NOW! (non-beta!)

Of course, being a fan of power-saving and efficiency, I immediately activated it.

It seems none of my currently installed games support it, though. (games have to actively support it so there's a proper way to downscale whatever saving they can use.)

So, looking forward to tech YouTube channels with actual comparisons.

I don't think many people will actually enable this setting, but I'll gladly give it a try!
