A Raspberry Pi CM5-powered handheld with a 10,000mAh battery, TrackPoint, and tactile keyboard is preparing for launch. Its open-source pitch sounds familiar, but the execution might not be.
Well… Ideally we’d all switch over to RISC-V, but that’s not happening any time soon. At least ARM is very popular and growing even more popular every day. Plus, it’s very similar to RISC-V, so maybe we can get cross-compatible software without too much work in the near future?
I hope that, with Steam selling the Frame VR headset soon, it will be like the Steam Deck with Linux where lots of money is focused towards making the ARM experience better overall! And indeed, they are supporting fex, which is a bit like Wine or Proton, but for ARM to x86.
An ARM computer? When most devs develop stuff for x86_64? Sure…
The sooner we ditch this dumpster fire of an architecture, the better.
I was hoping we would at least replace it with a non-proprietary one.
