Rumor - AMD is Resurrecting K12 Arm Architecture?

[duby229]

I think the longer people keep pushing for Wayland the worse off Linux on the Desktop will be. I never said X11 doesn't need replaced, I just said Wayland...

[duby229]

I realize... I realize how utterly dumb it is...

EDIT: It's like an old car that needs repaired, but instead it was traded in for heely'...

You strip out X11 functionality and then what's left? An empty compositor?

What you just said was deprecate a fully functional window manager...

[duby229]

I'm not so sure AMD would be a good idea. They have their Open Source graphics division, but apparently they don't have much communication with AMD and...

[duby229]

Yup, Waylands biggest flaw... Flame me all you guys want, but X works and Wayland doesn't. Those guys implemented 3d compositing on X11 and then when...

Well, I wouldn't want to lose it because of scripting, but a GUI would be so awesome......

[duby229]

No that -ISN'T- how it is.. You need to read the GPL. Actually read the damn thing... The GPL is all about distributing the sources to anybody that you...

Funny enough, that's exactly why i use Gentoo. Stripping down any other distro is so much more difficult and time consuming than building a slim system...

This answers every problem I had with your last post. This is concise and very well written.

This kinda reminds of a meme;
Me: Damn,...

The dude compared everything else to win95, obviously that guy has no clue at all what he's talking about. Clearly he's a fanboy to an extreme....

[duby229]

Exactly, if Alex said this on a popular hardware review sites forum like Anandtech, he'd get flamed so hard. It would be so bad....

You don't even know what you're saying. First of all radeon -is- a native linux driver, second amdgpu -is- a fork of radeon but with a more sophisticated...

[duby229]

Thank you for the level headed response.

So I have basically two issues, the first one is that Marketshare on linux is not as low as for...

[duby229]

And this is the reason why people believe AMD treats linux as a second class citizen... This isn't right, in fact it's very, very wrong...

...

[duby229]

Yes!, So true! You said it better than I ever could have. Well said!...

[duby229]

Yeah, I was aware of that, but those are just their kernel patches. Just briefly checking out their repository , I do see a bunch of patches they made...

[duby229]

Clear linux does a whole lot more than just compiler flags tweaks. They make a bunch of modifications. It would be impossible to duplicate all that Clear...

If all what you say is true, then it isn't a viable option at all then......
