About time. I would shop System76 if they offered laptops that weren't just Intel. There was that thing about an ARM based laptop which I was really...

Nice! I think this will help make Wifi work easier for Snapdragon-based laptops.

Clear isn't a toy, it's a proof-of-concept, and it proved its concept extremely well. But like all PoCs, they're not exactly intended to be practical...

I'm a bit surprised this is dropped so soon. 32 bit ARM chips are still commonly used today. They are on a steady decline but still common enough to...

Out of curiosity, but what kind of drive are you using? What are you decompressing into? Have you observed what the bottleneck is? I'm genuinely curious,...

I'd be curious to see benchmarks on ARM, i3, or Ryzen 3 systems too. For video decode, those are the kinds of platforms that reach the widest audience,...

Getting DRMs to work is a big deal. From what I've found, the vast majority of games that don't run at all is because of DRMs, so for every DRM that is...

[schmidtbag]

Understood; doesn't really change my point that their Windows team really needs help....

[schmidtbag]

From what I recall, the reason JoshuaAshton said that is because you've made a complaint about Mesa before, where you were mismatching old and new packages....

[schmidtbag]

Although I'm not in the slightest complaining about AMD contributing more toward Linux driver development (I welcome it with open arms) but their Windows...

[schmidtbag]

I'm guessing this is going to be a case-by-base basis. Some games will likely see no impact at all, some will probably gain a few FPS. As long as nothing...
