there’s a level of irony to omitting the artist’s wordmark on an “i made this” meme comic lol

appreciate your input 🥰

It’s just a really odd comic series in general.

I’m wondering if much of the humour is lost in translation (I think it’s Spanish?) or something because they’re genuinely just not all that funny.

I think that could work well. looking forward to more diversity in compute in the future! 😊

That’s fine, it’s an emerging ISA, as with any, it takes some time before perf and sw compatibility reach a good spot.

I think the key novelty to rv especially compared to x86_64 and arm is that there are no licencing restrictions: anyone is free to design and produce products based on that ISA, making more viable for vendors to more easily provide in-house silicon solutions. It’s already become fairly popular in lower power devices, like for IoT and wearables. My smart soldering iron uses a little 32 bit RISC V CPU and I wouldn’t be surprised if it’s found some use in automotive, particularly in China.

As we alluded to above, there are several designs available for more general use, and you may find that they handle your compute needs fairly well already, but they won’t be within striking distance of other ISAs if high performance is a requirement.

compat wise I think many packages are now available for rv specifically or as .noarch.

perf wise, I think we’re still a ways off, we’re not seeing rv SoCs at the same level of perf / efficiency as arm, and whilst that’s just a matter of time, I’m not sure you’ll have many compelling offerings even a couple years from now, though potentially in 2030?

you can check in with experiences using devices like the PineTab V or even the custom RV mainboard for the Framework 13. There are also several SoCs produced by SiFive on SBCs, some are card sized, some are mATX. These are primarily positioned as development devices, but they may give you some idea of what things are like right now

You’ve had me realise how long I’ve actually been using Linux for, though not quite at the ten year mark unless you count some very early endeavours with ubuntu.

fully agree with you on Debian as a rock solid server. my “don’t fuck with it, just work” client system for several years now has been fedora workstation, though I’ve only relatively recently switched all of my personal computing over to it (still have several windows installations for work-related testing).

Supposedly the pro can. I’d imagine it’s quite a bit harder to run than infinitime

yes

appears to be similar to innertune / metrolist. I use the latter and adore it.

lol. lmao even.

yeah… not sure if we’ll see desktop celestial in any form at this point. I hope I’m wrong.

good news is that imagination are also looking to get back into dgfx, I guess we’ll see how how that goes in a few years time.

This is effectively that die, though it wouldn’t make sense for Intel to sell that without the ‘compute board margins’ at this point. We probably won’t see gaming skus for this, though in sure they’ll run games fine.

asking price will suck given the segment though

well no offence to you but I hope you’re having a lovely day

that was fast. I read about them speaking out I want to say about three days ago.
