Mommy? Sorry.

Why wouldn’t I cum?

SLOP

I think Intel might use an OpenGL translation layer already

Go to github.com/torvalds/linux

click “fork”

You now have a fork of Linux.

You’re probably allowed by the trademark holder to still call it Linux, but its not associated with the official Linux kernel project.

The problem with ARM is that all of the hardware manufacturers lock down their hardware or othwise make it difficult to use with mainline Linux. That was all I was saying. I wouldn’t want to game on a MilkV Duo either.

A hard days work at the sock spinning factory.

but I dont understand how calling raspbian a fork of Linux is incorrect. I can’t run mainline Linux on an android phone, I need to run something based on Linux that isn’t from Linus Torvalds, the owner of the Linux trademark.

I’m not trying to convince anyone, I’m just tired of people simping for ARM like its better than x86. Apple and Qualcomm are not going to make gaming better!

That was implied when I said vanilla Linux. Sorry for not breaking out the technical lingo in a PC gaming thread.

If you’re so confident, show a source

the person I replied to mentioned Unix for some reason

the goalposts were that x86 is more open source friendly than ARM. Intel and AND work on mainline Linux because they actually submit their patches to mainline and make sure that they get accepted. Sure, there’s firmware, but the code to use that firmware is open source and widely used. The worst you see is maybe SoC drivers for webcams.

Compare that to ARM, where the majority of vendors dont provide source code for their kernels, and when they do boot with mainline Linux, half the shit is broken because of device trees or undocumented peripherals.

I wouldn’t want to buy an ARM computer.

OK go fanboy for Qualcomm bud

The goalposts were that x86 is more open source friendly than ARM

The rumors seem to say it will be another AMD chip.

At the moment, there is no ARM SoC that is as efficient at idle as Intel’s Panther Lake, so I dont know why Valve would tie themselves down with Qualcomm and have bad Linux support and shitty BIOS.

OK cool, how much is broken when you use a mainline kernel, like the one I use on a normal x86 laptop?

Your phone runs mainline Linux? You dont need to download a closed source binary blob from the vendor?

Does your phone show up on this list?

Notice how I dont have to ask this question if somebody owns a normal x86 computer.

Not for a lack of Apple trying to lock it down.

Asahi Linux does not work on the latest macs, and most of the features on M1/M2 do not work.

You dont have these issues with x86, because it is more open source than ARM. AMD and Intel treat Linux as a first-class citizen and upload code for their computers directly to Mainline Linux.

some devices = virtually every android phone.

I’m taking a very narrow definition of Linux here to say that a manufacturer shipping you a disk image with a precompiled version of Linux (that is closed source) is not proper linux.

If Linus Torvalds and co can’t make your computer run, then its not a good computing experience.

Darwin != Linux, either.
