Yessir, I am pretty nifty!

But in all seriousness I loved comic book movies until about 10 years ago when Marvel decided to just milk the same franchise and DC decided fuck it all and gave up trying. So you can hate me for that too if you’d like.

I’d like to think they resorted to bribes eventually so in response people slammed the door in their face even harder.

The fact that maga can’t seem to understand that no one likes them just baffles me.

I agree, maybe my wording was confusing but yeah I see the biggest problem for ARM is market penetration. Functionally it’s there already but since so few use it no one is making anything for it and since no one is making anything for it no one uses it.

Yeah its a shame they aren’t better manufacturers out there for this sort of market. Even first party hardware seems pretty trash these days long gone are the days when a boutique PC manufacturer would go out of their way to make something that stands out. Falcon Northwest is the last holdout I know of and even they are nothing like they used to be.

I think that is the biggest issue with ARM. x86 is so wide spread and backwards compatible that it’s just more cost effective to eat the efficiency losses. If Arm ever gets as big as x86 I can see it dominating all but maybe the Gaming PC space. Proton compatibility layer is already compatible with it however so it might even take off there one day as well.

It’s not though, ARM themselves admit it. https://www.arm.com/glossary/risc.

“With RISC, a central processing unit (CPU) implements the processor design principle of simplified instructions that can do less but can execute more rapidly.”

None of this is to say RISC or by extension ARM is bad, just that where everything currently is it’s not a good choice for everyday computing. By design its as light weight and simple as possible so that it can perform its specific function faster and more efficiently with less overhead than a more general purpose processor.

Geeks for geeks has a good writeup on it.

Cool, another terrible comic book movie no one asked for.

Of course he did, he is still doing it. DOGE is a cyber crime ring.

It looks like this is just another rebranded Cleavo/Sager laptop anyway, it wasn’t purpose built to be a linux machine.
