I totally agree. Meanwhile when it comes to ARM based laptops, they're either "pretty decent, but really only capable of [smoothly] running Windows...

Wow this is actually pretty impressive hardware, even when compared to x86 platforms. The price seems pretty decent too. I look forward to the benc...

To my knowledge, the Jetson boards involve mostly open-source drivers. You could also get a board with PCIe support and just use a desktop GPU too....

[schmidtbag]

Seems if you take the Jetson boards out of the mix, the C2 is overall the best performer. That's somewhat surprising to me, considering it isn't the...

10Gbps is tremendously overkill for the average PC, and is relatively new compared to 4Gbps NICs (which you can get for pretty cheap). That being said,...

And why is this? I'm not saying Linus' level of hostility is necessary, because it isn't, but to suggest that things will lead to a stronger and healthier...

[schmidtbag]

I disagreed with the "reasoning" behind the 3.0 and 4.0 releases of the kernels, but now is a more appropriate time than ever to start a new...

[schmidtbag]

Though the vast majority of the effects are unnecessary, resource taxing, or might even slow down your workflow, I think you are looking at this in way...

[schmidtbag]

To me, it's not just the number of commits that count, but the significance of them. Marek's patches are often a pretty big deal, and yet, he has so many...

Whenever I say this, people start ranting at me that I have no idea what I'm talking about. When you say it, everyone presses Like...

Weird, the 2500X is an overall downgrade from the 1500X (slightly higher boost clocks but lower cache) while the 2300X is a decent upgrade.

[schmidtbag]

To my knowledge, this depends on the distro. For example, I know Debian enables wrapping by default, but Arch doesn't....

I'm not zoomblab but...:

According to whom? Since when are your priorities everyone's? Open source is a main attraction to Linux, but it's...

[schmidtbag]

Why not buy an existing AM4 platform and just underclock it? You'll basically get the same results than if you just waited for a U series. Keep in mind...

[schmidtbag]

Huh? AMD's power consumption is fine, as long as you're careful about clock speeds. It seems for both first and 2nd gen parts, the efficiency only suffers...

Out of curiosity, is this code specific only to radeonSI? Because I'm not sure why other Gallium3D drivers couldn't be compatible either.

It's only difficult to use if you are used to other programs. I find Gimp overall pretty easy to use. I'm not saying the UI is perfect - it definitely...

Nice - I've been waiting for this to get ported before actually buying it.

[schmidtbag]

Cool, I'll have to check it out later. Is this going to be a regular thing between you two, or are you just a one-time guest (or is this just a one-time...

My current laptop is a 14" Lenovo with a Haswell i3 and a 64GB SSD. So, the 100S isn't really much of an upgrade, though I'm sure the battery life...
