2. Be civil
  • Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.
  • Do not harrass or attack members of the community for any reason.
  • Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.
  • Bigotry will not be tolerated.
  • These rules are somewhat loosened when the subject is a public figure. Still, do not attack their person or incite harrassment.
  • 3. Post Linux-related content
  • Including Unix and BSD.
  • Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of sudo in Windows.
  • No porn. Even if you watch it on a Linux machine.
  • 4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.

  • Please report posts and comments that break these rules!

    Risc architecture is gonna change everything

    Hasn't that been said for like 30 years?

    never said when it's gonna change everything

    Right, the year of the Linux desktop will be on RISC V!

    All even half-way relevant architectures but x86 and z/Architecture are RISC nowadays: ARM, Power, MIPS (The Chinese tried to revitalise it but they seem to be switching to RISC-V), Atmel AVR. Oh speaking of microcontrollers: Z80 (CISC) still lives though arguably it's genetically an x86. And then of course RISC-V which most of all is an open standard, and a clean slate. Also, the first vector insn set that also runs on hardware that isn't a supercomputer.

    I'm pretty sure they meant the open source RISC-V, not any reduced instruction set ISA in general.

    Come on man, let them impress us with their technical knowledge and pedantry.

    Pretty sure it's just a reference to Hackers.

    [–] [email protected] 8 points 9 months ago (1 children)

    So is POWER. Or basically anything not x86 lol.

    We're being extra pedantic now? Good, I like it.

    You mean RISC v? Arm is also risc
