oh
intel invented it
amd got to use it because they made x86-64
and intel decided to trade them for it basically
So wait is ARM used in servers?
there's been attempts at it
but none truly sucessful
I was always under the impression x86 is more complicated
except in specalist roles
e.g
routing
there's also https://riscv.org/ which is gaining steam
So... x86 can generally work on broader tasks, while ARM is more specialised?
do I understand that correctly?
are ARM laptops worth buying then?
but i woudln't say arm or x86 are more specalized than either
it's just that all the arm chip manuifactures have had to specialize because intel dominates everytihng
and you cant compete
What?
You shouldn't answer that with yes, Ben
but yeah arm laptops can be worth buying
e.g if you want to just fuck around
arm laptops are worth it if everything you do can be done in a browser
or want to be Always Connected™
see: chromebooks
Hmm
But say if I wanted a 2 in 1 or some other kind of tablet
or if you dont mind compiling everything from source and hoping it works
lol
isn't ARM better in that scenario?
Guys, this is off-topic by now. Hush before tervy gets angry
And then there is that samsung attempt at a 2 in 1 which uses ARM with windowed apps @bentech
I also ordered the Teclast F5. Gonna be trying to dual boot Linux on it. Some reviewer already showed that at least Ubuntu live USB worked fine.
uigh im tempted
Idk
It seems too small to comfortably type on
Yeah, it's not probably a good choice as a main laptop.
