I've got Firefox, Krita, LibreOffice, a bunch of games ... most of it directly out of the Fedora package repos. There is certainly more and better optimized software for x86_64, but this makes it sound like there's nothing, which is false.

It would help if you could cite any workstation software, rather than just generic desktop applications. Aside from developing software to run on POWER servers, what workstation tasks is a TALOS II good for?

  What's your definition of "workstation software"? The parent answered using the definition "off-the-shelf", as asked.

    "Workstation" is a pretty vague term that has shifted over the years, but anyone who's using it as a distinct category from mainstream desktop computers will have at least something in mind that a workstation would be better at than a regular desktop computer. Web browsing, simple office apps and games definitely don't put you in workstation territory. Krita can be used in a workstation/professional context, but I don't think the choice of CPU is relevant there—GPU, monitor and digitizer are what a professional user of Krita is more likely to care about.

      With the shift from desktops to phones as personal computing devices, I've seen the beginning of usage of "workstation" to call any box-type computing device used for work.

    "Workstation software" to me means anything hardware intensive that you use to build things. Compiling large applications, video editing, music production, 3d modelling/CAD etc
