Interestingly, the Ubuntu Concept image is aiming to use ACPI-based support for the platform rather than frustrating Device Tree files.
That's cool
Pass.
For what reason?
"AI CPU"
Also I don't like the direction Ubuntu has been going for some time now unrelated to that.
these are already added to non-cix hardware; did you pass on those as well?
Yes.
so you're purchasing old hardware? specialized hardware?
DDR4-era is plenty good enough for anything I'll use it for, and if not I'll use two. 🤷
My own ddr4 era hardware died a few months ago and finding replacements have been difficult; I hope you're better prepared to warehouse your own spares than I was
I've been collecting so I have some, not enough to rebuild from zero though.
If I have to I'll downshift to DDR3-era, I still have a lot of that. It's not ideal but it's mostly serviceable with expectations appropriately set.
Edit: it kinda looks like you could downshift also, as long as you had a video card (and software set up right) that could understand newer video codecs.
i used to collect mine too, but incidentally so as i encountered discarded towers in e-waste bins and my own failed hardware.
somewhere along the way; i stopped using towers and lost access to e-waste bins, so my personal inventory ran low enough to make resuscitating my home server for free an impossibility.
there's something strange about knowing that it's impossible to obtain a full sized tower for free in the present day; i suspect it's indicative of the technological change that collectively stands before us.
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.
