   The Cortex-A53 is really weak. I wouldn't want to run an office suite on that either. Oh, and the Pi 3 was VERY limited by RAM. "most office people, students, and so on" pretty much always do browse lots of modern websites,

   Well, commercial vendors usually use AMI's modified version that has a proprietary fancy setup UI and whatever other crap. But for hobbyist custom firmware (these ARM systems, Chromebooks, etc) completely raw upstream EDK2 is totally f

   SolidRun MACCHIATObin has one PCIe slot. Enough for a GPU! I have this, it's pretty good. Though I have to resort to USB-Ethernet since FreeBSD doesn't support the onboard NIC (and the driver isn't the easiest to port) :D Sol

   Maybe. The chip closest to the Ethernet port has BCM on it..

   > bumps to allow for more PCIe MEMBAR space huh! huh! can you have enough BAR space for an AMD GPU to run? Rockchip RK3399 is infamous for having too little for GPUs..

    You can buy mini-ITX sized ones from SolidRun. They even run open source firmware (EDK2) that exposes most things as generic ACPI hardware.. well there's still quirks and hardware bugs of course :D

    by floatboth 6y ago

    Rockchip's PCIe is kind of a joke, you can't use a GPU there because there's not enough BAR space . But yeah, you could run an NVMe drive or a big NIC, I guess. Also, the heterogeneous 2xA72+4xA53 CPU setup is ehh.. :/

    References and (raw) pointers are distinct things with very different semantics. (References are borrow checked.)

    lol, you don't want aggressive inlining everywhere . Here's a good example. Firefox does even cross-language LTO for stuff that matters — all the DOM/CSS/etc components that are tightly bound together. But it happily

    You can use a mainline kernel. (Without the GPU..)

    Fucking Nvidia, again . It's ridiculous that the most "Linux focused" laptop maker doesn't offer AMD GPUs.

    Also, compositors don't really need much improvement in this area, everything has been done ages ago. It's all about the toolkits, and some great work is happening in GTK, e.g.: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/

    Qt even already has QNativeGestureEvent stuff, seems like it's only wired up on macOS for now. Also, what really sucks about Qt is there's no kinetic scrolling in classic qt widget apps (e.g. telegram-desktop). Or there is but eve

    I have implemented that gesture in Wayfire last year :) but yeah GNOME already had it for quite some time. KDE Plasma too, I think.

    Yeah, not "state of the art" technically, but that's where the first generation Ryzens (14nm) were made, which still feels like yesterday to me, haha. "14nm" is still good enough, especially considering Intel's

    "HMB" is a typo, it is the same HBM. And yeah.. honestly I'm surprised AMD didn't do the HBM-CPU thing first. An HBM2-powered EPYC would've been an amazing product.
