Linux support for Qualcomm Snapdragon 7c? in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Thank you for this very detailed answer!

I was looking for a new Notebook for my parents, and they need Windows working as a dual boot and Linux as the main driver. After some research, I found that ARM for Windows was still bad, and we need it to work properly, so I discarded this option. But I appreciated the knowledge you shared with us. Thanks

Linux support for Qualcomm Snapdragon 7c? (lemmy.world)
 

cross-posted from: https://lemmy.world/post/1798744

I'm searching for a Notebook and I came across one that had a Qualcomm Snapdragon 7c which grabbed my attention... My main concern was that the processor specs says:

  • Instruction Set: ARMv8-A64 (64 bit)
  • Architecture: Kryo 468

Main questions:

  • Does Linux already supports this processor?
  • What I should look at? Instruction Set (A64) or Architecture (Kyro)?

If you have time to spend... How this CPU compares with an i3 6157U?

I actually hasn't see any porn when from the browser... Only when I decided to download an mobile app I got flooded by a lot of NSFW... I wonder why... Maybe the lemmy.world itself doesn't have much porn, but what is "hot" and "active" in other instances it is? That explains why going directly in to https://lemmy.world/ they doesn't show up.

TIL About the Loudest plane Developed in USA (Thunderscreech) (lemmy.world)
 

Basically, the "Thunderscreech" was one of the most weird planes developed during the Cold War. The idea was combine the high climbing rates of motors with propellers and the supersonic speeds of jets... The problem? In the tip of propellers, the air move much faster, thus, creating shock waves, producing noise capable of knocking off people.

Get ready for light-based Wi-Fi (Li-Fi), because it's now an official standard in c/[email protected]

But, if light bounces in every obstacle, it will be confined to just a room or so... Then, I think is unreliable for the general public and will be only useful in specific situations... Which I can't think of a single one... Not getting interference with Military, Hospitals and Airplanes isn't already achieved by separating special frequencies for WiFi and Bluetooth? How that is achieved today?
