Yesterday we were preparing a place for Tbilisi Guix Meetup and one of the residents of hackerspace brough an arm thinkpad. It's the first RISC laptop I see in person that feels modern and satisfying.
It's surprisingly difficult to find options for laptops shipping #Fedora or any other supported non-ChromeOS flavor of #Linux from the #Lenovo website.
@thefossguy What I was really hunting for when I started down this rabbit hole is if the #ThinkPad T14 Gen 6 supports #Fedora with the new Qualcomm #ARM offering.
So far, I've yet to find info either way on that one.
“Building Bridges, Not Barriers: Embracing Upstream Support for Lasting Results“ (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zwyE44A9-8E) is an inspiring presentation from Texas Instruments. And it is spot on, here’s a picture of my TI OMAP3 IGEPv2 board (released in 2009) running the latest Linux mainline kernel.
Armbian Update gemacht => ZFS geht nicht mehr, weil Paketversionen inkompatibel sind.
Armbian-Leute wissen Bescheid, aber haben kein Interesse, das zeitnah zu lösen, weil die Version fürs Rock64 nur "Community maintained" ist und sie andere Prios haben.
Ich lasse es mir eine Lehre sein und verzichte wohl dann bald mal auf Armbian. Oder kaufe dann doch was x86 mäßiges, weil mir das Gefummeln und Gebastel mit dem Ding eh schon zu viel Arbeit gemacht hat. 🙄
I wonder if #Linux has some kind of minimal #qemu and/or #KataContainers way to run x86 applications on an #ARM host, similar to Rosetta for MacOS or the similar WIP Microsoft compatibility.
Microsoft App Assure helps Opera build Arm-optimized browser.
“App Assure engineers worked directly with Opera’s engineering team, offering technical assistance and guidance. It quickly became apparent that both teams had a similar take on strong signals reflecting growing industry awareness of the performance and efficiency benefits offered by Arm devices.”
🦾 ARM / Snapdragon X Elite on laptops with Linux :linux:
Qualcomm has been working to upstream Linux support for this high-end "System on a Chip" device asset!
◉Snapdragon X Elite is a bit of a momentum for ARM powered processing
◉Upon success it'll disrupt the x86-processor (e.g. Intel dominated market)
◉One of ARM's benefits is great battery life
