@kynes Backward compatibility is an undeniable advantage, but I don't think it's a requirement to reach the domestic market. We have the example of ARM that occasionally makes incursions into desktop computers (with Nvidia's Tegra boards for example) and that has managed to take a small bite out of laptops with Chromebooks. In fact, even Microsoft released a Windows ARM although later they decided to abandon it.

The truth is that I don't know to what extent IA-64 would have contributed something interesting to the current IA-32 + ADM64 (x86-64), but what I am almost certain of is that having maintained a niche like high-end servers with only HP as the assembler has killed the architecture and more so with a monster like IBM overshadowing it in that segment.

By the way, Intel has said that the replacement for Itanium will be Xeon. Let's see if they give a boost to x86 that, leaving aside the physical limitations of manufacturing, seems that lately they are not making great achievements.

At the end you said it was not that big of a deal, but I put the MEME anyway

Salu2!

In one of the recordings I hear "the world is going to end, repent", like a psychophone

The truth is that it is curious...

Thanks @whoololon. I would have liked to do more testing, but the time available is what it is.

I have also been surprised by the performance. It should be noted that the Broadcom BCM2837 does not have VT-x-like repertoires and such. Anyone who has run an x86 virtual machine on an x86 host without this help knows that it is very, very slow.

And for nostalgics like me who still remember the shenanigans that had to be done to get CS to run more or less well on a Pentum II at 400MHz and a Voodoo 3 3000, having a computer the size of a credit card that achieves practically that is science fiction.

I wish Broadcom would release their drivers; I am sure that the board can be squeezed much more.

SSH is one of the best inventions of computer science. The reality is that one of the reasons I like Linux more than Windows is precisely thanks to this service. And let's be clear, in this Linux gives a hundred million times more than Windows. Installing any distro and knowing that you will be able to control it at your whim securely from anywhere without having to spend time configuring anything or almost anything is a real luxury.

About the port I had no idea but times have changed so that IANA responds to you in a day and assigns the exact port you want.

You forgot to mention the compositor quantum that in theory improves the performance of the interface. But only on Windows!! It is disappointing to see how Mozilla treats Linux as a second-rate platform. There is no technical reason not to include such functions on Linux except that not enough resources are dedicated. And the same thing happens with the interface acceleration that is deactivated by default on Linux when it has been activated by default on Windows for years. To be a non-profit organization, it focuses too much on getting the entire audience possible at all costs even if it is abandoning its most loyal users. There are already many switching to Chromium because in certain aspects it is simply superior to Firefox and the sad thing is that in those aspects it is only superior on Linux because on Windows there are no clear differences between the two. Companies like AMD or Valve care more about Linux than they do about earning every last cent that Mozilla does. It's like peeing and not leaking a drop.

And I with 2 kits to sell (48Gb in total) at a ridiculous price and no one buys them...

It is also true that DDR4 had a scandalous price drop in one year, I think it was from 2014 to 2015, I paid for my first kit at a gold price (almost 300€ for 16Gb CL12) when now you have it for practically 100€.

There aren't many plasma forks and this one might not be bad although I don't know why I don't give much credibility to this project. The idea of using it in ubuntu as the default environment is simply a joke. These people are playing it safe with gnome and xorg. They're not going to start experimenting now with amateur projects and even less so to change to a clone of their own desktop on which they've spent so many resources and then abandon it.

It seems that the fork of unity has already been released. It is called yunit and has a website: https://yunit.io/
These people have not explained much about their intentions, but it is probably because they are setting everything up.

@palotes yes, the gma500 that was so disgustingly integrated, it didn't move anything, what a terrible thing, and what a reputation it gave to Intel...

I've done some scripting in bash and some things have seemed hellish to me. Things like double brackets in conditionals seem pretty counterintuitive to me. This is a very interesting tool for beginners or for those who like me write a script from scratch.

Removing support for wacom hardware in wayland in general seem like pretty irrelevant changes. By the way, apart from Fedora, which other big distro comes with Gnome by default? Debian? The truth is that now the market share is very divided.
