Why isn't Qualcomm developing their own operating system like Apple?
It appears that Apple has fully leveraged ARM architecture CPUs because of their native OS.
The Snapdragon elite gen2 looks solid, but the requirement to use Windows on ARM is a letdown.
>>
Apple has had like 40 years of OS development and MacOS still sucks ass so what hope do they have

Cope retard, it's unix that just works.
You can do tinker tranny shit via terminal
You can have great workflow with keybinds
You can use it like normgroid via desktop and mouse.
>>
should be pretty easy to make one with ai these days

I mean quite literally Huawei did it too with their NEXT OS. Qualcomm execs. are stupid if they believe microjeets will save their hardware.
>>
>>108474953
it's not that
apple just has bigger fatter better cores
>>
>>108474953
A better question is why isn't there an official Android desktop OS?
>>
>>108475153
Because GOOGLEjeets don't make laptop CPUs.
>>
Qualcomm has their own RTOS for some of the chips, I think they might have multiple.
Working with qualcomm's chips has always been a really pain.

Software is not their "game"
>>
>>108474953
I doubt they want that responsibility. In the consumer market, operating systems are money sinks.
>>
>>108474953
They can design a new OS but only a new ecosystem. They would have to convince Instagram, TikTok, and Whatsapp to port their apps to it. That's why Windows Phone failed. Harmony OS NEXT succeeded because they were banned from the US market and have a massive, captive audience in China.

Also, Snapdragon is part of the Holy Trinity of mobile hardware, along with TSMC and Arm Holdings; companies only but their products because they don't compete with them.

they do it called drivers

qualcomm is genuinely awful at software.
>the requirement to use windows on arm
blame qualcomm. that's another reason they suck. the chips may be technically interesting, but qualcomm is a horrible company.
>>
>>108475660
>qualcomm bad because they don't support LINAKS
Linux is rubbish that's equally as corposlopped as windows and mac
>b-but muh tinkering
you can tinker on windows as well
>>
>>108475796
nah. they've done a horrible job with windows drivers. also, they bought arduino and are fucking that up as well.

Yeah, that's why they should make their own operating system.
Windows can die and rot in hell (india).
>>
>>108474992
macOS is by far the best operating system currently available & supported.

>Software is not their "game"
Even hardware is barely their game already kek
It is a terribly run company with shitty culture and dysfunctional leadership that has no clue how to save the company now that the phone chip market is so saturated.
They day the datacenter moneyprinter stops funnelling money into them, they are going to be seriously fucked. It's intel 2.0 but without the manufacturing side.
