anyone here ever bothered to get an arm64 desktop? i have started to really like the arm system, so i was considering it, but i know it's still pretty uncommon for desktop setups. i can imagine there might be a decent bit less support, but ideally anything that isn't supported out of the box, you could just recompile yourself?
>>102441970I got a risc-v one. I'm aware it's a different architecture but so far the support is horrible and you don't get the importance of dependency hell. You won't be able to download a binary, after some searching you find that they compile it because one of the dependencies (often unnamed) is incompatible. So you decide to check all of the dependencies yourself. Some dependencies don't ship risc-v binary/libraries easily but it's possible to get them or they have compilation instructions. Once you found the one that is causing problems you will find that there's some janky solution using dockers and it's considered good enough so the devs won't try anything to help advancements in building for risc-v.
>>102442051disappointing
>>102442252Yep, still waiting for that one (1) dependency to finally ship with a risc-v build
>>102442252I thought it's encouraging, finally something is getting better in the FLOSS world.We will have a proper and complete understanding why things do or do not work out - the root, the hardware - is finally open.
You will love electron apps
>>102443360Yeah that's cool but I hate that I have to wait until one nodejs dev can manage to type in arch=riscv
>>102446491we're going to make it anyways
>>102446529Yeah but I honestly just wanna host my own forgejo server. I went with git but the lack of issues is bothering me greatly
>>102446565Interesting. I am also looking for a RISC-V VPS.
>>102442051can I watch webm on it?
>>102441970I got the Apple mini M1 and a little later the Raspberry Pi 5 with an NVMe. so much computing power at such a low power draw. exciting times.
>>102447332Check DOT COM's video on daily driving a RISC-V SBC. It worked fairly well for light usage.
