How it feels like running #Linux on an #Intel #ix86-64 / #amd64 machine:

OS/1337 development goes on...

Tho I'm a bit stuck on the boot pipeline...

Anyone any idea why?

#Linux #OS1337 #embedded #syslinux #Floppinux #EmbeddedLinux #toybox #boot #i486 #ix86 #OpenSource #development #Software

@necrosis @pallenberg IMHO bin ich bzgl. @bsi - "Zertifizierung" etwas vorsichtig...

Ich persönlich empfehle Blicke auf #ipFire [für #ARM64 wie z.B. @Raspberry_Pi ] als auch #pfSense & #OPNsense weil diese auf #AMD64 / #ix86-64 - Standardhardware laufen, failover-Hardware - Redundanz unterstützen und neben Appliances auch DIY möglich ist.

@keao well, @fuchsiii is certainly a fan and unless you constantly edit RAW & non-ProRes all day long, it's a #fanless machine that just wörks!

Consistently getting double-digit hoirs of runtime even when torturing it is basically unmatched at either weight, price and/or performance to the point that many say this is the beginning of the end of #amd64 / #ix86(-64)...

Because any competitior that beats it in any of the categories fails at the other two...

@aurora sadly every competitior just vomits out some boards with shit to nonexistent documentation.

You might - if you don't need #ARM64 but could also use #ix86 / #amd64 - choose some #ThinClient like a #hp #T620 which can be had for as little as €30 with power supply, optional stand, 4GD DDR3L-SODIMM and 8GB M.2 B-Key SSD.

@billgoats I recommend something like a #hp #T620 #ThinClient for those that want to poke with #Linux on the #Desktop.
You can get one used with 4 GB RAM, WiFi and power supply for less than a @Raspberry_Pi #Pi4B2GB or #CM4WLite1GB at MSRP.
It'll run anything from #RaspberryPiOS for #ix86 and #lightweight #Linux distros like @bunsenlabs #BunsenLabsLinux to @ubuntu #UbuntuServer LTS and even @tails #Tails.
Tho #UbuntuDesktop will feel very slow on it.
But with something like #Porteus it's fine.

@bkastl Oder wie @stman und andere sagen würden:

'#ix86 / #amd64 ist unfixbar kaputt per Design!'

@fwaggle is that a real #EeePC 701 4G?

If so, have you tried @Raspberry_Pi #RaspberryPiOS for #i386 or @bunsenlabs #BunsenLabs #Linux for #ix86 on it?

@SebastienK that claim doesn't hold water considering the unfixable mess of #AMD64 / #ix86 and the unfixable #bloat that is #UEFI.

Instead they literally made an #Outlook-#Clone as #EFI-App!

@ariadne Eeyuppp!

There's a reason #Transmeta literally did design their chips to emulate #amd64 & #ix86 with an architecture that isn't an #ISA a OS can even directly utilize.

That being said, I'm confident that #ARM / #ARM64 will be a stepping stone till #RISCV is mature enough to become mainstream (i.e. 20 Years) and cheap $10 #FPGAs allow running one at a performance that is on-par to then current #AppleSilicon SoCs and faster than any current-day #AMD64 can be.
