SPARC, MIPS, Alpha and others are irrelevant nowadays. Regarding POWER, the few distros that support it, only support the little-endian variant. Ditto for ARM.

- hajile 1y agoThere are almost certainly more MIPS chips in the world than x86. Saying "you can have big-endian in your ISA, but we won't be supporting it" is very different from railing on about the ISA having big-endian at all.
- pezezin 1y agoIs that so? I know that MIPS used to be very popular for embedded devices, especially routers and switches, but it seems that everything has moved to ARM.
