emotional rollercoaster reading these two comments
I see. that makes more sense, thanks!
So what is being teleported? The state of the two entangled particles?
lmfao why did this teach me how merge sort works compared to my years of university.
Lots of frameworks for applications and games have automatic translation of file paths to sensible directories, but when you’re writing software you’re probably doing shit fast and dirty until it’s ready for release, by that time you now have a bunch of people relying on your software so changing the file structure will cause loads of issues.
For commercial stuff, 50Gbps is probably useful. Especially if you’re not large enough to commission your own fibre cables but for the average person it’s probably not too useful - at those speeds you’re transferring fast enough to saturate even the fastest of commercial device storage.
In the end I brought it in for a full refund (CeX has a decently long warranty period) but yeah looks like it’s not massively uncommon for ideapads either sadly
I’m looking forward to finally getting someone to listen, honestly. I’m glad you had a (relatively!) good experience :) thank you!
I looked up the stats and yeah it’s more like A55 vs A72 (pi 4b) but to reiterate my point of compatibility and potential performance over the next few years:
15fps in witcher 3 is wild for an architecture that is running through a compatibility layer and is incredibly immature. I’d also note that I’m not sure how much overhead box64 has, it’s not emulation the same way WINE is not an Emulator, which as we know allows it to be as fast as native Windows sometimes.
absolutely, and for other distros (ubuntu etc), maintainers are finally getting platforms to easily test packages built with their build systems, which means binaries for everyone!
jesus fucking christ, £60 per month is beyond insane for a neoliberal magazine
Europe does have ASML, which creates a lot of the expensive and critical equipment for advanced semiconductor fabrication. That’s about it, though.
Thanks to box64, a lot of software can actually run on RISCV when using Linux, but the performance is just about pushing Raspberry Pi 4 levels at best.
But also, if you have source code for some software available in ARM/X64 you can usually just compile it for yourself - A lot of compilers already support RISCV, but obviously distros won’t bother maintaining apps in lesser used architectures
There are other costs, too. Someone has to spend a LOT of time maintaining their repos: testing and reviewing each package, responding to bugs caused by each packaging format’s choice of dependencies, and doing this for multiple branches of supported distro version! Thats a lot of man hours that could still be used for app distribution, but combined could help make even more robust and secure applications than before.
And, if we’re honest, except for a few outliers like Nix, Gentoo, and a few others, there’s little functional difference to each package format, which simply came to exist to fill the same need before Linux was big enough to establish a “standard”.
Aaaanyway
I do think we could have package formats leveraging torrenting more though. It could make updates a bit harder to distribute quickly in theory but nothing fundamentally out of the realm of possibilities. Many distros even use torrents as their primary form of ISO distribution.
the sandbox is the point! but yes there’s still shortcomings with the sandbox/portal implementation, but if snaps can find a way to improve the end user experience despite containerising (most) apps, then so can flatpak.
It’s similar to how we’re at that awkward cusp of Wayland being the one and only display protocol for Linux, but we’re still living with the awkward pitfalls and caveats that come with managing such a wide-ranging FOSS project.
Linux works pretty well on most Macbooks to date. Granted it’s probably slower and guaranteed than most modern laptops but those custom drivers are usually working on Linux not too long after launch.
Asahi Linux has done great work for compatibility for recent apple hardware. They’ve even gotten some decent Vulkan performance from the GPU despite reverse engineering it from scratch - Apple meanwhile refuses to implement Vulkan in favour of Metal, which makes MacOS less compatible with graphically intensive apps than Linux.
All praise the queen, Asahi Lina!
Ive seen more than a few Linux fans using apple hardware because it’s usually quite sleek, even if its antithetical to a lot of other things linux users tend to like such as repairability.
Do we have cores beyond the performance of the c910 yet? Im hoping to see RISCV get to ARM A72+ this year
