@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!

Navid LancasterThe joy of giving back!! My SECOND cohort of the short course on Sound Engineering 101 finished today with me as their Instructor. They got their Certificates of Completion today. Awesomeness!!

ResearchBuzz: FirehoseMakeZine: Live: Arduino Announce UNO Q, App Lab, and Qualcomm Acquisition. “Perhaps not the greatest surprise — there has been talk or expectation of something like this happening since Arduino raised $54MM two years ago — but as soon as I saw that ‘Q’ silkscreened on the new UNO, I guessed the implication: Qualcomm Technologies, Inc. have announced an agreement to acquire Arduino.”
@krutonium @landley I mean, Ideally @OS1337 would be come a simpler and better alternative to #LinuxFromScratch or #YoctoLinux / #YoctoProject when it comes to getting started on a device.
- Ideally #SBC manufacturers would at least release the #drivers (if they can't be assed to #mainline them into #Linux) and #ReproduceableBuilds with build scripts to make them go brrr...
Cuz #RaspberryPi de-facto monopolized non-#amd64 / non-#ix86 - #SBCs because they actually give a shit and publish #documentation!
- So whilst they certainly don't support other OSes than #RaspberryPiOS, they don't just tell folks like @geerlingguy to not pester them with questions in their Forums.
