Thats why EVERYONE needs to know it. You can’t disqualify everyone.

This is how enshitification begins, don’t enable this shit.

Everyone should read about jury nullification and spread it everywhere.

Microsoft it the best ad for linux.

Another continent from Germany, yes another continet from you, probably but unfortunately for me I live in the same shithole country as system 76. that being said the hardware is all made over on that side of the pond anyway since they are just rebranded Cleavo / Sager hardware anyway.

Just like every other liberal they are a nazi sympathizer.

No worries bud, the mechanics for 1 and 2 has always been shit. People sucked it up and played anyway because the writing was so damn good. If you can’t get into the game because the mechanics or controls are bad thats the games fault not yours.

I have been trying to replay both for years and everytime I give up after a few hours because the experience is just painful.

From GTA to GTA san andreas are all a pain now because the control scheme is so outdated, The pcs ports are even worse because they have the shittiest jankiest controls imaginable but they had that from the start. GTA 4 is borderline unplayable because of the trash camera controls but that was true when it came out as well.

The original Metro 2033 is a bit of a slog to get through as well if you can even get it to run.

Darmok and Jalad when the misogynist raged.

My daughter wanted to wear my headset when I was playing battlefield once. It was so funny listening to those losers rage because they Were getting stomped by a 5 yr old girl. Now days she still puts it on from time to time and it’s still hilarious.

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.

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

The efficiency had better be good that’s specifically what the RISC (arm stands for Advanced RISC Machine) architecture was designed for but that’s also why its terrible for general purpose. ARM is also proprietary which always stifles progress because of licensing (greed). It’s one of the reasons that RISC-V is becoming popular despite being less efficient.

Why would you want an arm laptop? (legit question, not trying to be a dick) Compatibility is already going to be questionable since its running linux, adding a low power mobile focused processor would make it such a niche product it would be all but useless outside of web apps or bespoke software meant just for ARM PC’s (of which are very few).

Also System 76 does arm as well https://system76.com/desktops/thelio-astra-a1-n1/configure

They are very purpose built because ARM is not the best at general purpose PC use so it’s generally only used in PC’s when specifically needed or asked for.

“finally” as if system 76 doesn’t already exist.

Good to know. Being able to run both at the same time will probably help ease the transition.

Someone is paying for it, just because it’s not you doesn’t mean it not paid for. Thats why youtube has fifty bajillion ads and everyone has sponsorships these days.
