  • Sure, but I specifically ask other launcher. If we are talking no launcher at all then it is a different discussion entirely. If we are talking about not having a launcher, yeah, that is understandable too. But then again, many games have their own launcher and they do not add any value other than for the sake of having one/promoting the publisher

  • If it is trivial in linux, it shouldn't be vary wildly. But the reality is that most people just assume systemd and everything else is an after though. I agree that it would be nice if there is a single API that we can agree on, but adding another standard just making things worse. I'd say it is not that trivial due to the variety but also not that hard to do for each.

  • I assume you are familiar with what CPU architecture is. The famous one is x86 and ARM. This is just another one of those called RISC-V.

    The significance is mostly political. US and allies have been trying to sanction China technologically. They even tried to block export of RISC-V, but since it is open source, they can just get fucked. Now, China can only get sub par GPU and limited CPU. Pushing for RISC-V means China is aiming to further develop it to be as capable as the CPU being sanctioned effectively making the sanction useless and even furthering Chinese manufacturing capabilities in the process.

    The big advantage is that this is technically more standardized and free. Unlike ARM which require license, RISC-V doesn't so anyone can make their own CPU and get the software support already in place. Hopefully more CPU manufacturers will be created from the advancement of RISC-V making more fierce competition.

  • Oh sorry, I was talking about measuring C rather than 2C (since that is the only way we can get C, IIRC, you cannot measure C directly since SOME information must be conveyed when measurement begins AND ends, hence 2C). For C in a gravitational field, I have no idea but I suspect it will have something to do with relativity and time dilation if it has any effect at all.

  • Alright, other vendor provide an option to have or not to have discrete GPU. Can you change it once a better GPU is available? Can other laptop vendor swap out their display with a touch capable one when needed? (As of now, framework doesn't have a touchscreen available yet, but IIRC, their board has the capabilities, but then again, their board is so modular that they can offer upgrade for trade-in). Can other vendor have bigger battery when you wanted the bigger battery without affecting other hardware choices? Framework batteries in the 13 series are improved purely by better chemistry. You can replace it with the bigger capacity one.

    Edit: also, they are still a new company. Their hope is that 3rd party vendor is interested in making other modular part. The trackpad is a good example of it. It also can make some patented design available to the framework if the patent holder willing to make the accessory without giving up or licensing their patent.
