@JessTheUnstill @bohwaz @punkfairie @ajsadauskas @tomiahonen @fuchsiii Exactly...

Coincidentially, that's why #Android (and #iOS) doesn't let users have #root access because billions of devices owned by mostly "#TechIlliterates" that hardly get #SecurityUpdates would be an even bigger risk if they didn't boot a locked-down #ROM image, thus only allowing for #malware in user-privilegued userspace!

• I'd even go so far that I'd wish for @torproject to basically merge fmr. #FirefoxOS / #KaiOS & @tails_live / @tails / #Tails to build a #privacy-focussed #ROM for #Smartphones and #Tablets i.e. "#TailsMobile" or sth.

Cuz having a mobile OS that shoves everything through #Tor and only allows #userspace-Apps in the form modern web technologies would be a big #security and #privacy gain.

• Not to mention #amd64 is on it's way out and inevitably they gotta have to transition to supporting #arm64 and eventually #RISCv-#64bit at some point.

@asmw uf yiu don't need #amd64 maybe there's some #arm64 board fir @frameworkcomputer ?

• Most of the "#magic" of #ARM is a shitload of patented power savings...

@riley @frameworkcomputer heard of it, sadly I need #amd64 hardware.

@vetgaming @linuxmint It's just a necessity, according to @fuchsiii, as it's just not feasible longterm to collect rarer-and-rarer #VintageComputing hardware and rely on non-enforcement of copyright on #Abandonware.

• Plus whilst #Valve isn't antragonistic to #Proton / #DXVK repackagings, not relying on them is kinda important, as this setup also helps with otger applications that ain't strictly games or in setups that one may not want to be on the internet.

It makes #TheSims and #FightingIsMagic just work on anything that is #amd64 and has enough resources to throw at it.

@MaliciousCarp consider some #fanless #amd64 #ThinClient instead....

• The work great as mini-servers, can accept quite a lot of RAM and usually have at meast USB 3.0 & M.2 B-Key slots...

@fuchsiii @kaia @puniko wrong, Efficieon did #amd64, #SSE3 & #3Dnow!

@fuchsiii @kaia @puniko actually, it's #VLIW-256 with JIT - Recompiler of #amd64...

@derf @Lili wegen #Stromkosten nutz' ich alte #fanless #ThinClients wie #hp t520.

• Sind auch #AMD64.
• können problemlos bis zu 2x 4GB DDR3-SODIMMs fressen.
• ne 2240 M.2 B-Key SSD passt auch rein.
• USB 3.0 und GBit-NIC reivhen für 08/15-#NAS...
• Hat genug Luft als #Downloadknecht alla #ytdlp...

@sjvn I will say that the starting price tag of 3000 USD will keep most enthusiast and students away from it, unless we can see the modified #ubuntu to land for free to use on standard #amd64 platform with say nVidia gamer GPU.

@Flyingmana let me guess: You need an #amd64 machine that boots into a #Linux #Desktop, barely sips power and isn't whiny when under load?

• Any size/budget/power/ports constraints??
• Any must (not) have features/demands/necessities???

@richardisaguyyyy @ticky only if they use their own custom, in-house engine tho...

• Everywhere else it's just a radio button to choose "Universal App" instead if #amd64 or #arm64...
