GCC14 to be a Fedora40 Feature, dunno why there bothering with RISC-V , afaik the hardware is slow

That's going to change with the introduction of this workstation: https://liliputing.com/milk-v-pionee...-crowdfunding/

Ventana Veyron launches this year. Tenstorrent Ascalon in 2024.

These are seriously performant. e.g. Ascalon is expected to be nearly as fast as Zen5 (also 2024), but using considerably lower power.

RISC-V is inevitable. Fedora doesn't want to miss that train.

Because you think the first x86 or arm chips were fast ??

Ridiculous statement.

I like how the extensions starts with Z and sounds like a French dude speaking English 😂
