Might be some AP incompatibility maybe, I’ve never seen those.

XBMC didn’t have drivers for video acceleration, but the raspberry pi 1 was able to play 1080p flawlessly if you used omxplayer.

Now kodi has the drivers included and the 4 can even play 4k up to certain bit rate.

The new ones are too expensive tho, a used NUC is a much better deal.

Debían 3.0… good times.

Use a second computer or a friend’s one to download the updates, get a USB ethernet adapter (a 100mbps one is like $5), put the system drive in a computer with lan, tether with another device via USB (phone, pi zero, etc) or use a different version/distro. I’m sure there are a bunch of other solutions.

Raspberry, seriously? What problems are you seeing?

I have a raspberry pi 3 acting as a 5GHz access point for as long as it’s been on the market, I can remember one time I had to restart it because of some wonkiness. About a dozen others as clients, never had an issue there either, fast and stable enough.

All using the default os (raspbian first, raspberry os later).

Very interesting, thanks for the message. I might use it in my next Nas, but my workstation is staying on regular lvm, too much hassle to change probably…

Care to elaborate about these ZFS features?

Yes, but Asahi still doesn’t support everything on the laptop, like microphones or speakers, and last time I checked the power consumption was also not as good as Mac OS.

I’m actually surprised how fast RISC V SBC have caught up with ARM based ones, but a laptop needs a lot more polish and mass production to be worth it.

As for ARM laptops, I’m afraid they will be windows only, secure boot or whatever, no GPU drivers, maybe even no wifi on Linux.

I have an M2 MacBook from work and it’s the closest thing one can get. Really impressive performance and efficiency, and the OS is acceptable once you get used to it.

I’d love a system with the efficiency of ARM and real out of the box support for Linux. Like a state-of-the-art Raspberry Pi.

My github profile is under my real name, so no thanks. Won’t be giving my social security or credit card numbers either.

I assume you program in Javascript and haven’t written C code ever. SPARC doesn’t allow unaligned memory access to this day, no matter what parameters you throw to the compiler. If a program doesn’t process endianness won’t work correctly. s/online/inline/g. You didn’t even address 4 other arguments.

“if you can compile it, it will work” is just false.

It was implied in the discussion: “if you can compile it, it will work”.

There’s plenty of ARM processors before Cortex. There’s SPARC. And there’s a crapton of others with their quirks.

Just because you can compile a program from source, it doesn’t guarantee it will work. As mentioned: online assembly, memory alignment, but you can add endianness or questionable pointer arithmetic, not to mention dynamic runtime code generation. And I’m sure there’s 5 other reasons that I haven’t personally run into.

Yeah, in a perfect world everyone would write bug-free, platform-independent code, alas…

Nonaligned memory access can occur in C code. I’m not speaking about nextcloud, you mentioned "if you can compile it works (for any architecture) ", which is demonstrably false.
