  Yeah, it's a fool's wish but hopefully RISC-V and SiFive stay as open as they've been, if they do Intel's cash could really usher in a golden age for open computing

  If Microsoft jumps in you can 100% count on that nonsense being bolted in addition to ACPI.

    So what? still better than "stuck with a kernel that's never updated, ever" ARM.

      The point is we shouldn't be bolting legacy PC baggage to non PC platforms so Microsoft can effortlessly port Windows while enabling silent installs of malicious software. Instead we should be focusing on minimal, secure solutions such as coreboot or skiboot (https://open-power.github.io/skiboot/doc/index.html https://open-power.github.io/skiboot/doc/index.html)

        I'd like to remind you of some recent events around Apple M1.

          I don't follow Apple news as I don't own or buy Apple products.

            That's not my fault.
