You simply need to accept the risc.

Because TeamViewer will set up a port forwarding and a NAT traversal for you.

VNC and RDP only work when your host has a public IP, or you know how to set up a proxy.

RISC-V is not proprietary enough.

So if I’m developing a garage door opener using ESP32 RISC-V module, I’m not a RISC-V developer? The dev tools and the cross-compiler only come in x86_64 variant, they simply won’t work on RISC-V laptop. But at least they provide a Linux installer.

The only use case I can think of is to build Debian packages on a target architecture without cross-compilation, because many packages do not support cross-compilation, but it’s more an issue of poor build scripts.

Targeting developers is, I dunno, misses the audience. It would have been a great netbook, or a Raspberry Pi replacement.

If I develop something for Risc-V arch, it is probably some embedded thing with 100 MHz CPU and 2 Mb RAM, and I am cross-compiling it anyway on my more powerful PC.

Because military engineers overengineer these things from the most expensive materials available, and they also perform frequent maintenance on them, which is also expensive.

Nah, Office 97 was the last decent one, Office 2003 is trash due to app menus all messed up. LibreOffice is modelled after Office 97.

Once the government switched to Linux en-masse, Microsoft will have no leverage whatsoever, no solution they can possibly propose will beat free software.

LibreOffice is totally adequate for most government jobs.

It’s not like there’s no precedent, Germany’s government already switched to Linux

The only possible way to generate money is through the use of online document editing services, but Google Docs pretty much cornered the market here.

I’ll believe it when I will see Linux ported to the shader language.

Windows is not a ‘better’ product, that would be ChromeOS. Zero configuration means nothing can get broken.

The average user who started with MS Office 95 is now 50 years old. The younger average user at least knows there are alternatives to Windows.

PC gaming is a whole other can of worms. I keep hearing that Valve did some black mahic and now most of Steam games work on Linux with no issues.

The only reason Windows is still relevant is a massive volume of legacy x86 applications.

If that laptop won’t support x86 emulation, it’d be actually worse that Linux ARM laptop.

Nah, that’s too affordable and easy to use for a True Artist.

Put a paper drawing behind the transparent screen and draw on the screen to digitize it.

When the company’s CEO cares more about cutting employees’ bonuses than saving money and reporting more cost-saving measures to the board.

This makes it harder for russian military to steal one of Mullvad servers to track your porn usage over VPN - once they unplug it, all links to porn will be gone.
