Like more than additional storage and memory prices?

I’d really like to see this. However I don’t have high hopes when looking at the current state in Slovenia, where Microsoft is deeply rooted in all public and non public sectors, starting from schools. Most know only Windows and Word while they don’t distinguish between the two and schools system doesn’t give a shit about teaching anything about computers let alone non Microsoft. One of the reasons is, of course, teachers being computer illiterate or … know only Microsoft. And so on and so forth.

One reason could be possible US restrictions and sanctions.

Don’t want to diverge the thread in nitpicking, but it’s not just one country and some countries play both sides.

Yes, there should be sanctions against any country doing that and worse. But there aren’t. Why not? I see a lot of downvotes and no explanations. As per Europe, aren’t we talking mostly about US, since Linux is trying to follow their sanctions? Also even Europe is divided about who the enemy is, like pesky Hungary.

You’re right. Racism here should be replaced with hate against a nation.

It depends, though. There are western and other countries invading and much worse, but there are no sanctions. It could be racism, interests or both that only a certain country is targeted with sanctions.

Western tanks are built to protect the crew, while Soviet/Russian are built to advance regardless of anything without much consideration about crew safety (typical Soviet mentality). The turret throw is due to the shells being stored right under the crew, beneath the turret, and when those detonate (which is quite easy with modern anti tank weapons), everything is thrown magnificently into the air. Crew has no way to survive. It’s different with western tanks, where shells are stored more safely and such a hit usually doesn’t evaporate the crew.

They also throw their turrets much better when hit.

But does it mean they own Linux? They list (support I guess) a lot of projects, including RISC-V. BTW smart move from RISC-V

That sounds like an advice, not something official? Also why is an open source project affected by US sanctions? It’s not an US open source project, or is it?

I’d really like to see the criteria for delisting people, though. As Russia is not the only one waging wars, there are worse countries out there. I guess it all boils down to Linus being from Finland.

And one doesn’t even need two NICs, right.

As others said, both work just fine with any GPU and Intel had serious issues lately with crashes. I’d say go with AMD unless you want higher power usage as Intel chips fare worse when it comes to perf/watt metrics. That said Intel CPUs might have an advantage at single threaded loads, but again, at much higher power use. AMD also tends to keep CPU sockets for longer thus less motherboard changes are required if you upgrade the CPU. You might also consider reading reviews on serious technical websites as it might give you inside into what performance and prices to expect.

Update: On more (implicitly expressed consequence) - due to Intel’s much higher power requirements, they are more difficult to cool down - more expensive (air) coolers and quite possibly water cooling required.

Yeah, both feels like password manager issues. Which one do you use?

What’s the problem with combination of manager and passkeys?

Let’s see, it’ll certainly be an interesting development in any scenario.

Interesting, but for the time being lets call it vaporware. It’ll be really interesting if they actually make it work.

In terms of cutting edge chip production they’re well behind - think lithography.

They have a looooong way ahead.
