who cares? Doing low power very affordable devices it is not their business anymore. :flan_bored:

I won't buy anymore an ARM device based...

And I won't buy a RISC-V either til the day you can use such architecture as any other trivial x86 computer.

@freezr " til the day you can use such architecture as any other trivial x86 computer." that's also my aim. It seems that we may achieve it with the incoming "high-end laptop oriented" #Snapdragon X Elite.

@freezr I feel some pessimism... is there any particular reason behind it?

Sorry, it wasn't my intention cool down your enthusiasm... My concern with all these ARM SOCs is: unless they land officially on the upstream kernel you have to rely on your distribution or upon the manufacturer to get a working kernel image.

I am just, personally, tired about this whole situation.

I am currently struggling with a SBC I have cause I can't get U-boot reading the changes I made to grub and therefore it won't boot. And U-boot hasn't been designed with the simplicity in mind like GRUB or LILO, it is a complicated stub that work at low level and requires skill that I lack.

We came back again where technology is hard to grasp for the sake of somebody else but not the end user, and I don't like it.

@freezr
Don't worry you haven't turned me down 😁
I share all your concerns. I'm hopeful that the time is ripe for #ARM becoming a real first class citizen in the #freeasinfreedom ecosystem. It seems that #qualcomm said they won't put barriers to those wanting to install Linux in their forthcoming #snapdragonxelite platform
