@zygoon Questions is: What is your idea behind buying RISC-V machine? A cheap potato for tests? Then VisionFive 2 is ok (or even cheaper slower boards). If you want something with some power (i.e. at least Rpi4B), maybe for a light desktop/home light srv backend)? LicheePi 4A is best choice right now (got one last week).

What to have in mind:
- Right now (emphasis on >now<) the spport for new kernels/drivers/hw accels etc. is taking off.
- (No) Support of RISC Vector instructions (0.7 vs 1.0)

@zygoon LicheePi 4A uses TH1520 CPU (4 cores @1,9Ghz, 4/8/16GB RAM + integrated eMMC storage, Vector 0.7.1 spec support, NPU, is currently mainly on kernel 5.10).

It is (now) "Not great, not terrible". With new kernels coming (6.5-6.8) and thus drivers (OpenGL/hw accel/AES accel etc..) and other things coming later this year, it will become quite ok as light desktop/light home server backend.

@zygoon
A "problem" with >current< CPUs support of RV Vector spec is that majority of today's CPU have no Vector support or spec 0.7 support (not official).

Vecctor spec v1.0 was not finalized several years ago, when RV CPUs manufacturers decided not to wait any longer and designed and produced current CPU generation -> with either no or v0.7.* spec support. There is minimal to no compiler support for these optimizations, so this has potentially big impact on performance.

@zygoon Here are some interesting benchmarks...

I believe it should be achievable to have a compiler patched with/for vector 0.7.* optimizations and build the whole system just for Lichee with these optimizations....
(But it is a) a theory and b) my wishful thinking 😇 )

@zygoon So, I stepped over my lazyness and found this (very good note) within the documentation for their official Linux build (based on Debian 12):

@zygoon Hmmmm, curious: GNOME Shell runs faster&smoother on LicheePi 4A than Xfce... 🤔

@janbartosik 👏 💪

@michal JIRA? Ta předražená cloud-only věc se ještě někde používá? 😮 🤔

@aral So, did Hamas already return all these Israeli hostages?🤔

@nixCraft Well, definitely Elmo does not have this/his AI under control 🤣 🤣

@janbartosik Já chápu, že hodně lidí je nasraných a ryje tlamou v asfaltu 😔 A strašně měto děsí.

Ale jaká je alternativa? Že to tu necháme zkrachovat jak Řecko?

A arogantní Babiš a Šillerka mají ještě tu drzost si otvírat hubu twl... 😡

@janbartosik @jakubzelenka You sure? ...a kolik dalších appek ze storu si tam nainstalovali bez přemýšlení?

A je ta jedna navíc opravdu takový problém?

@janbartosik Přestal jsem před lety a jsem strašně rád (a free!)😊

@janbartosik Jo tohle 🤨
Ano, tak to mě nezačíná srát, to mě už pár let sere na max 😅

Ale naučil jsem se s tím částečně žít/filtrovat to, pádž bych se jinak asi už zbláznil.

(A taky je pravda, že na sobě pozoruju, že se v mých postojích pro některá témata posledního 1,5roku dost radikalizuju a už jsem prostě shodil rukavice [a k tomu už je mi jedno, co si to tom/mě kdo myslí, a to i v rámci rodiny]).

No, asi si udělám popcorn a chvilku si počkám, jak to všechno dopadne 🤣 🤣

@janbartosik A to se týká čeho, třeba?

@janbartosik Jako Maloměřice jsou taky cajk 😄

@janbartosik Nijak, byli v p*deli 😂

@killyourfm Isn't there a "closed window history"? (I'm using it all the time...)

@killyourfm Hello there 🙂 I was registered, but unfortunately I could not attend in person because I fell ill earlier this week 😔 That was very disappointing...

So I watched only online...
(I'm following you for quite some time; even on "the old" network. So I was quite surprised to see you here, in Brno 🙂 ...and again disappointed even more, that I could not attend and meet you all in person...)
