Is there a fork of MuseScore too (the same devs, I think)?

FWIW I’m still very much an advocate of the Mark Shuttleworth Convergence vision. It’s the Holy Grail that makes sense to me.

:) Thank you. Yes Mail in a box has been around for a while. Still not straightforward, though.

Hehe You answered your own statement! If it were ever to become non-trivial : I’d certainly do it (even though I know people who do, are bombarded with spam).

Yes… I guess if someone were to only use Tox, the device they were using it on would have to be on all the time, with one of the Tox clients running at least in the background.

Addendum At least you know when the other person is online… There’s some advantage to that.

They’re kept on other people’s servers, is what I meant.

I’ve wondered before now about an e-mail system which hosts the emails on one’s own device, and uses the activity-pub protocol : decentralised email, I guess…

The closest I’ve seen is Tox.

I read recently that RPiOS has a Micro$oft key pre-installed (so that your RPi phones home to Microsoft)… It totally puts me off what is an excellent lightweight OS.

I think UBPorts’ calendar is excellent… I don’t think it’s generally available as a standalone Linux app though, sadly.

There’s a community effort, porting KDE: https://liliputing.com/pinetab-v-tablet-with-a-risc-v-chip-gets-community-supported-software-builds-including-kde-plasma-desktop/

What are your predictions on consumer hardware for the next decade in relation to RISC-V?

I had 2023 marked as the Year of the RISC-V SBC. But I think it’s more than that : with the Lichee Pi coming with Debian pre-installed, and looking stable, RISC-V is on the verge of consumer-grade hardware. There are other devices from Sipeed, Pine64 and others too, of course, including laptops and tablets.

I think the real watershed will come in 2025/26 though. It’s widely predicted that more powerful RISC-V processors will be ready by then.

We know that some Chinese tech organisations are working tirelessly on RISC-V, and I think we can expect to see them really pushing the technology. But Qualcomm, Broadcom, NXP etc. are going for it too. Qualcomm (feat. Nuvia) have real design prowess, and also have every reason to go RISC-V.

I really like the Lichee Pi 4A, and I hope to get one when I next need to buy a computer. My computing needs are relatively light, and I think the Lichee Pi would be perfectly sufficient.

I check the Alpine repository from time to time - https://pkgs.alpinelinux.org/packages - just to see what apps are available for RISC-V : and actually, it’s impressive to see the amount of work that has gone into rebasing apps. Godot doesn’t appear to be there for RISC-V though, sorry.

So my advice would be to realise what apps you really need, and check if they’re available yet. And if they aren’t it’s always worth contacting the app maintainer.

I wouldn’t know : I never support them.

That’s genuinely shocking.

Sorry. Can’t help you there.
