This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
What’s the alternative to Intel for a home PC? After getting caught up on this, I won’t be ever buying one again.
AMD. Maybe Qualcomm in the near future. AMD Ryzen chips are pretty damn good.
Oh man I would love a Snapdragon 8 Gen3 USFF or STB.
I want an arm laptop for work. I almost always use web apps or SSH or RDP. I don't need or want a lot of power in my laptop, but fanless and big battery life sounds great.
You essentially just described a Chromebook...
I get it. I want a Chromebook too. Just not one that has anything to do with Google.
Gimme a "Chromebook" that runs an atomic Linux distro out of the box.
Non-standard keyboard layouts. Custom kernels. Nah, I tried to rock a Chromebook but it sucks. What I really want is for arm or riscV to grow the fuck up and make an open pc platform. x86 wasn't meant to be open from the beginning, but market forces and other reasons forced it open. We need the same thing for other architectures.
Good to know. Probably have another four years on my PC before it heads out to pasture.
