The Orange Pi 5 is a completely standard Rockchip RK3588S board. That SoC has complete driver support in Linux, and pretty good support on Windows as well.

I can't speak to any other Orange Pi products as that is the only one I have.

If all you want to run is their essentially proprietary spins of Linux then go overpay for a Raspberry Pi.

If you actually want freedom of choice for software and universally good driver support then ditch ARM and go for good old x86 based SBCs like the Radxa X4 which is in the same price range and has better performance while also being a completely standard Intel N series (formerly Celeron) based PC.

Shit like this is why I don't have high hopes for ARM based PCs no matter how hard Microsoft, Qualcomm, Nvidia, and MediaTek push for them. x86 and its ecosystem have basically perfected the formula for machines with standardized software interfaces and peripherals with the sole exception being GPUs which will always be a PITA on any platform.

Even if you want to only talk about Linux while the kernel itself may support a fuck ton of architectures all the rest of the software you might want to use is only guaranteed to work on x86. On everything else it may or may not work well and for proprietary stuff it may not even be ported to other architectures at all.

Still better than ChromeOS.

I wonder whose supporters did this...

You are not required to obey an unlawful order and in most militaries you are required not to. If you get court martialed it shouldn't be a problem since you were in the right and not the officer issuing the unlawful order.

I got permabanned from reddit across all accounts including any new ones I make all because I decided to argue against racists. So I'm in it for the run with Lemmy.

Who the fuck do you think the PAC acts on behalf of? Fuck the legal fiction of corporate personhood and the limitation of liability. If they mess with politics at all, the law should be able to breach the corporate veil and shove a gavel up the asses of those running these PACs.

They're objectively better than the Raspberry Pi in every way and are much more standard ARM devices than the weird boot process of the Raspberry Pi, so generally speaking, more OSes just work.

My Orange Pi 5 actually supports an open source EDK2 port so it can run any Aarch64 operating system that supports UEFI and ACPI or Device Tree which means almost every Linux distro, all the BSDs, Windows, and even more exotic and up and coming options.

I actually bought it to test my own OS development project specifically because it's one of the few ARM boards that supports the common boot and firmware standards.

On the Raspberry Pi 5 which I also have if you want to use anything other than their own officially supported Linux distributions (so far only Pi OS and Ubuntu) then you have to modify your kernel or bootloader to work with its wacky boot ROM, lack of UEFI or U-Boot, and somewhat non-standard Device Tree along with tons of undocumented peripherals.

Oh, and the Orange Pi has twice the number of cores. The RPi 5 has four Cortex A76 cores while the Orange has four Cortex A76 cores and four Cortex A55 cores in a big.LITTLE configuration.

Honestly, any of the Rockchip RK3588 or RK3588S boards are way better than a Raspberry Pi. At this point, the only thing Raspberry Pi has going for it over its major competitors is the fact that the brand itself isn't Chinese (although many of the boards are made in China).

Or you know actual trained soldiers tend to fight more effectively than random cartel thugs.

Citizens United and SpeechNow opened the door to this.

They can arrest its board.

Advanced how? It doesn't offer the most advanced process node fabricated in the USA that's for sure.

Lol that was never a serious option. Regulators would never allow it. But it was Qualcomm trying to flex for wall street to see.

GlobalFoundries is American in name only. It's owned by the Saudis.

Korea and Taiwan are already ahead of the US in semiconductor fabrication so IDK what you're talking about. The US also isn't competitive on cost of production either. The only reason for anyone to build a fab here is for geopolitical reasons and because the government is giving away billions in tax dollars to subsidize it.

This is just both of them trying to cope with falling behind TSMC permanently.

Paper? What backwards ass pharmacy did you go to in the US that they didn't send prescriptions via the internet?

The rot has even spread into hardware. No one wants die space wasted on a stupid NPU with with less than 1/1000 of the computing power their GPU has and can't be used for anything other than local LLMs which FTI very few people use and those that do tend to have powerful Nvidia GPUs.

AMD won because it has x86 CPUs and GPUs.

4chan is a flaming trash heap
