I think if Linux really wants to run well on consumer hardware - in other words, not servers - then we’ll have to build the hardware. No idea how that happens

I think if Linux really wants to run well on consumer hardware - in other words, not servers - then we’ll have to build the hardware.
No idea how that happens from a business perspective, but Raspberry Pi seems to be a great model.
Perhaps a Pi Pro could be designed that meets some of those needs. The Zero is almost too mobile for a laptop to be usable, but who knows, maybe someone will come up with a unique design around it.
But if we don’t control the hardware, the. It’s always going to be a second or third class citizen on mobile (laptops or tablets).
- bronson 6y agoThe Raspberry Pi is not a good example if you want control of the hardware. Closed GPU and microcode, no chance of finding actual hardware documentation (beyond coarse schematics), and no way to buy components. Broadcom is not aligned with your goals.
