Non-x86 hardware of Zig Forums

Fuck, man. That's even sadder.

A company is paying me to do this man we have agents all over this website, we would've gotten away with it but alas nothing can ever get past someone with this level of intelligence

I'm I correct in thinking Gentoo is the last major Linux distro to support 32-bit PPC? I'm quite confused by Debian's choice to ditch SPARC, PPC, and PPC64. Yet they still have MIPS 32-bit, 32-bit LE, and 64-bit LE support. I can only assume Longsoon is the reason.

Ghantoo is the last distro officially support PPC and SPARC afaik. Debian has unofficial support for PPC32/64 but has official support for PPC64el (Talos II)

...

Shills can only exist for Intel silly

oh shit, i only have one choice for my G5 then

Here, have a picture of my Talos. Sorry for the poor quality, I'm still in the process of setting it up. However I am posting this from the Talos. A computer made in the USA by white men.

And here's a screenfetch

I don't think it's quite as dire on the PPC64 front. OpenSUSE and Fedora have un/official support.

If all else fails, NetBSD will probably support it until the end of time.

Have you tried x86 emulation or any highly-demanding applications yet?

Can you take a screenshot with screenfetch so I can pretend to be you?

Are you kidding me?

He'd have to use kernels marked as testing on Gentoo anyway.

I've got a PowerBook G4 that my grandma gave me and an Onion Omega that I've got hooked up to some sensors outside. I want to install Linux on the Mac, but I'm scared of bricking it.

I hope that, in the future, we will be able to have RISC-V laptops and POWER-[x] workstations running properly written software. Until then, this is what I've got to work with...

I would suggest leaving here if you feel that you don't belong.

user I am jelly as fuck, did you get the mobo+cpu combo and put it in your own case?

I have a v1 powerPC mac mini. The thing is incredibly slow and power-hungry, it sucks down like 50 watts idle and 110 max on the power supply, so i get kinda worried
I also have the v1,1 mac mini from a family member, haven't really touched it. But i do have a replacement CD drive if i need it.
I have looked into putting coreboot on the v1,1 mini. It uses almost identical hardware to the mac desktop that runs coreboot, but i'm not a programmer i'm an electrical engineer. atmega bootloaders are beyond me, there's no way i could mess with libreboot and not fry my board.

32-bit PPC is long, looooong dead, user. There's however a lot of embedded MIPS32 hardware in production right now. Heck, your router is probably running one. most are

learn to count, faget

He's using debian testing so eh.
Not like linux breaks often.

What am I looking at? At least the RAM is believable.

Two 18-core POWER9 CPUs, 4 SMT threads per core, 256GB RAM (128GB/socket)

I read 41 Celsius too.
You're the one who can't read because gets face-fucked.

He would have to install Gentoo from that Debian boot disk, in case that wasn't clear. I'm not even sure they have stage 3 builds for ppc64el.

I'm jelly, I only got x2 4-core CPUs.

Is that even useful?
I'm curious on CPU performance though, I don't know how modern powerpc compares to modern x86 at similar clockspeeds.

Why would you buy that instead of one 8-core? It would be cheaper and you could upgrade to dual later without throwing out a CPU. Do you really have so many PCIe devices to connect from day one?

POWER9 has more execution resources than any x86, but less clever scheduling hardware to keep them occupied. So a single thread won't utilise the core well, but each additional thread will suffer less of a performance hit from sharing a core. This, and it's a server chip - and server workloads tend to have big datasets and suffer a lot of cache misses, which is when SMT really shines.
That's full-blown POWER, not PowerPC. Compared to Skylake it's typically 10-30% slower with one thread per core active, roughly similar performance with two threads, runs circles around it with four threads.

I foresaw the Talos II Lite. When I eventually upgrade CPUs I'll save a 4-core and use it for my wife's build or a server.

Yes. I've got a 2-slot GPU, SAS controller, sound card, and video capture card. That's all of them filled.

What are you using it for? I am having trouble thinking of tasks that would even come close to utilizing 144 threads

emerge @world

shitposting

this tbh

CPU mining?

Running Gentoo. :^)

You will easily run 144 if you still use X11 where Wayland is 1. Gentoo/Funtoo actually improves performance because OpenRC uses far less resources than SystemDick.
I use OpenRC with Sway and my ten year old cpu constantly runs at 0.00% unless I’m compiling from source

Since it's apparent that Brazilian hue at Phoronix has no intention of purchasing a Talos II, and has only benchmarked the 16 core machine that Raptor gave him remote access to, can you run Phoronix Test Suite on your machine?

Anybody here having any actual experience with the AmigaOne computers? How usable is AmigaOS 4.1? Is it any sort of alternative to the compromised x86(_64) platform?

No, but their current model is priced the same as a Talos 2 but with significantly dated hardware. The OS is probably fine, but you're better finding a used a-one or waiting until the Talos 2 version of Morphos exists.

I'm developing my own OISC on a FPGA right now. It's pretty simple, so it will be easy to manufacture your own chips.
