Honestly, this product announcement is a perfect analogy for RISC-V. Lots of hype and buzzwords, no substance.

Thanks mainly to Microsoft. The first 3D accelerated games with the 3dfx Voodoo card were all MSDOS games. Oh, want to run them on Win95/98? Good luck...

Lol, what?? I was selling and installing 3D cad/cam workstations 30 years ago. Specifically the SGI Indigo and Indigo2. They cost more than a new car...

I get the impression AlmaLinux is a larger operation with more staff. They have EL9 released, Rocky does not yet. They have an official Rpi image, while...
