Is there a fork of MuseScore too (the same devs, I think)?

I think UBPorts’ calendar is excellent… I don’t think it’s generally available as a standalone Linux app though, sadly.

Perversely; I’m always less inclined to buy a product that I’ve seen advertised… “Why do they need to advertise it? It can’t be up to much.” And “Part of the ticket price has gone into advertising, so it’s not so valuable a thing.”, usually being my first thoughts.

I guess this is a fair indication then of how much Meta receives per person from advertisers…

There’s a community effort, porting KDE: https://liliputing.com/pinetab-v-tablet-with-a-risc-v-chip-gets-community-supported-software-builds-including-kde-plasma-desktop/

What are your predictions on consumer hardware for the next decade in relation to RISC-V?

I had 2023 marked as the Year of the RISC-V SBC. But I think it’s more than that : with the Lichee Pi coming with Debian pre-installed, and looking stable, RISC-V is on the verge of consumer-grade hardware. There are other devices from Sipeed, Pine64 and others too, of course, including laptops and tablets.

I think the real watershed will come in 2025/26 though. It’s widely predicted that more powerful RISC-V processors will be ready by then.

We know that some Chinese tech organisations are working tirelessly on RISC-V, and I think we can expect to see them really pushing the technology. But Qualcomm, Broadcom, NXP etc. are going for it too. Qualcomm (feat. Nuvia) have real design prowess, and also have every reason to go RISC-V.

I really like the Lichee Pi 4A, and I hope to get one when I next need to buy a computer. My computing needs are relatively light, and I think the Lichee Pi would be perfectly sufficient.

I check the Alpine repository from time to time - https://pkgs.alpinelinux.org/packages - just to see what apps are available for RISC-V : and actually, it’s impressive to see the amount of work that has gone into rebasing apps. Godot doesn’t appear to be there for RISC-V though, sorry.

So my advice would be to realise what apps you really need, and check if they’re available yet. And if they aren’t it’s always worth contacting the app maintainer.

D’oh! 🤔 Yeah!

How about, (counterclockwise)

I wouldn’t know : I never support them.

That’s genuinely shocking.

To quote a Linux tech writer:

"You literally cannot boot a raspberry pi zero, one, two, three or four without running ThreadX which is a Microsoft product.

“So whether the OS pings a repo or not is moot. The whole damn computer is run by a proprietary sealed Microsoft binary.”

Perhaps at that point the consumer will opt for the repairable options.

A sign that the smartphone has reached maturity, I guess. People don’t feel the imperative to upgrade any more. That’s good for the planet!

No open sourced RISC-V processor? Not interested.

And courting Micro$oft…??

He’s lost the plot

Is this technology open source?
