No I do not, but I don’t see any reason it shouldn’t work though. I have PiHole, Apache, email, cups, mythtv and samba currently.

Until risc-v is at least as performant as top of the line 2 year old hardware it isn’t going to be of interest to most end users. Right now it is mostly hobbyist hardware.
I also think a lot of trust if being put into it that is going to be misplaced. Just because the ISA is open doesn’t mean anything about the developed hardware.
It isn’t as simple as just compiling. Large programs like games then need to be tested to make sure the code doesn’t have bugs on ARM. Developers often use assembly to optimize performance, so those portions would need to be rewritten as well. And Apple has been the only large install of performant ARM consumer hardware on anything laptop or desktop windows. So, there hasn’t been a strong install base to even encourage many developers to port their stuff to windows on ARM.
There is a project being worked on called Darling, but it isn’t ready yet. The developers are making progress though.
I actually bought a m1 mini for a linux low power server. I was getting tired of the Pi4 being so slow when I needed to compile something. Works real well, just need the Asahi team to get TB working. And for my server stuff, 8gb is plenty.
I could see developers using both the NVK and M1 drivers depending on which best suits their needs for hardware similarity. It is also interesting that both are not super opensource friendly hardware manufacturers. Good hardware, less so on openness.
I wouldn’t say bad, but the generative ai and llm are definitely underbaked and shoving everything under the sun into them is going to create garbage in, garbage out. And using it for customer support where it will inevitably offer either bad advice or open you up to lawsuits seems shortsighted to say the least.
They were calling the rest machine learning(ML) a couple years ago. There are valid uses for ML though. Image/video upscaling and image search are a couple examples.
Yeah. Only systems that can be interpreted in real time are viable. Not sure how recent we are talking either. On top of that, interpretation will be inherently worse on battery life.
A-shell
Hadn’t heard of a-shell. On my iPad I occasionally use iSH for bittorent, among other uses. I do agree it is on the slower side, but that is in part because of Apple’s rules about JITs and this forces iSH to use an interpreter. I do think an interpreter of ARM ISA would potentially be faster as the ISA is fixed width and x86 is not, but I don’t know if that would be margin of error faster or not.
Thanks for sharing.
Edit: I may have came across that before, but iSH is more flexible, if much slower.
30y seems a bit optimistic. I have already replaced the control board on our fridge once and I think I need to again and it probably is less than 15yo.
I have an elderly friend that I will probably need to migrate as 1 of their 2 computers doesn’t support win11. I am fully able to migrate them, but I really want it themed(Plasma6 probably ) to look as much like 10 as they a dealing with cognitive decline and I don’t want to force them to relearn using their computer.
I need to start investigating, but I got over a year to do so. The other part is making sure the 2 pieces of proprietary software they use runs in wine. I expect both will, but need to check.
This is obviously something that developers probably don’t think about as much as an accessibility issue in general.
Boggles my mind. Some even have 1440p/1600p screens. At those size of a screen it is a negligible difference in picture quality when gaming.
Same here. With the exception of the explicit sync, which will hopefully be resolved this week, I have been running Plasma 6 wayland since February. And honestly when I tried the X11 version it had more issues.
They aren’t ads. They are “App Promotions”.
Either way you’d have to look at the compositor as that is what handles input. I haven’t used Weston, so I don’t know where to start.
SDDM uses kwin_wayland. Plasma store the setting for that in $(HOME)/.config/kcminputrc I believe that is used by a different part that is not used by SDDM. Best suggestion is to submit a feature request. Having proper input support would go along with power management as a needed feature for SDDM on wayland.
That security concern is there whether it is for this or something else.
Me no, but for most users with only windows installed and not dual booting, having it automatically doing it would probably be fine and bailing out when it detects a more advance configuration such as extra partitions would make sense. Then display a message about manual intervention is required or something.
If it can be done manually, I don’t see any reason it can’t be done automatically. Other than just not wanting to allocate the person-power to it.
My community college(1997) had a Suse linux computer lab that I learned on. It was mostly used as a networking/server and programming platform.
Loki was the leading porting developer at the time.
