From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Imagine Linux on an Arm SoC that benchmark better than Apple's M2 Max! (youtu.be)

Qualcomm brought a company named Nuvia, which are ex-Apple engineers that help designed the M series Apple silicon chips to produce Oryon which exceeds Apple’s M2 Max in single threaded benchmarks.

The impression I get is than these are for PCs and laptops

I’ve been following the development of Asahi Linux (Linux on the M series MacBooks) with this new development there’s some exciting times to come.

Buying? Nope

Wishing I had that M1 CPU? Hell yeah

Why tho? AMD's 7840HS performs better at 35W and is x86_64.

Because anyone who works at the assembly level tends to think that the x86_64 ISA is garbage.

To be fair, aarch64 is also garbage. But it's less smelly garbage.

That being said, I'm not expecting any of these CPUs to be hanging in the Sistine Chapel. So whatever works, I guess.

Apple components work faster because they are welded together to the motherboard. You can't cheat physics.
