As much as I welcome this I can’t help but wonder, why do they care?
Is it because it was the year of the Linux desktop? ;D
Windows didn’t do well on these and they want to expand the market I guess
They may not have done well fiscally however I’ve been using a Lenovo ARM64 desktop and laptop for quite a while and my only pain points are the horrible, awful, type 4 printer support and having to hack around to get the shittastic VMware remote console (VMRC) to install.
AI, same thing why nvidia kinda went a bit loosy with their drivers on linux, windows is too limiting and freeBSD is apple’s main bitch.
apple has nevee meaningfully contributed to BSDs, they are just a disgusting leech, the reason why FreeBSD isnt as big is simply because Linux won the Unix wars that strongly
they are just a disgusting leech
yea thats what i want to say as well
How do you figure FreeBSD is influenced by Apple? macOS and iOS don’t use FreeBSD. They use Darwin, which is a BSD fork, but not related to FreeBSD at all AFAIK besides they have some of the userland tools.
influenced? in coding mostly not, but darwin is based on older bsds including freebsd that has been impacful for macOS (and meta btw, freebsd not darwin) since it has the major development throughout compared to others eg. openstep (and they dont like copyleft licenses embedded on linux).
Apple has also been found rebasing openbsd codes as thiers.
As someone who works for a company that develops FreeBSD kernel code, your doing an awful lot of conflating between BSDs. You’re basically saying that ChromeOS and Fedora are the same because they use the Linux kernel.
you know what? thats fair. my bad on going full nutso and for not recognizing that linux basically does the same thing.
Qualcomm wants a piece of Nvidia’s server market pie.
I expect the “support” is to ship some binary blobs in a open source wrapper at most, like Nvidia does.
Late indeed but with the Frame already shipped running Arch and KDE on a Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 it’s definitely going to be interesting.
I was interested years ago potentially of a tablet form factor as a nice travel device
Don’t think I care anymore
