You might - if you don't need #ARM64 but could also use #ix86 / #amd64 - choose some #ThinClient like a #hp #T620 which can be had for as little as €30 with power supply, optional stand, 4GD DDR3L-SODIMM and 8GB M.2 B-Key SSD.

1415 followers · 100130 posts · Server mstdn.social@billgoats I recommend something like a #hp #T620 #ThinClient for those that want to poke with #Linux on the #Desktop.
You can get one used with 4 GB RAM, WiFi and power supply for less than a @Raspberry_Pi #Pi4B2GB or #CM4WLite1GB at MSRP.
It'll run anything from #RaspberryPiOS for #ix86 and #lightweight #Linux distros like @bunsenlabs #BunsenLabsLinux to @ubuntu #UbuntuServer LTS and even @tails #Tails.
Tho #UbuntuDesktop will feel very slow on it.
But with something like #Porteus it's fine.

Hinzu kommt dass es z.B. bei Programmiersprachen nur eine finite Anzahl an richtigen Methoden gibt um etwas zu tun.
So würde ich identische Zeilen an #x86 - #Assembly in #NTLDR und #GRUB oder #SystemdBoot nicht als qualifizierend betrachten weil's auf #ix86 und #amd64 nur bestimmte Wege gibt Zeug in RAM zu laden und zu booten...

If so, have you tried @Raspberry_Pi #RaspberryPiOS for #i386 or @bunsenlabs #BunsenLabs #Linux for #ix86 on it?

Instead they literally made an #Outlook-#Clone as #EFI-App!

There's a reason #Transmeta literally did design their chips to emulate #amd64 & #ix86 with an architecture that isn't an #ISA a OS can even directly utilize.
That being said, I'm confident that #ARM / #ARM64 will be a stepping stone till #RISCV is mature enough to become mainstream (i.e. 20 Years) and cheap $10 #FPGAs allow running one at a performance that is on-par to then current #AppleSilicon SoCs and faster than any current-day #AMD64 can be.

@m0xee @kirby @memefolder 1/10, cuz I could at least accept an #ix86 / #amd64 #SBC as a "coprocessor" / "accelerator" card.
Like that #Oddware Card on some #PowerPC #Macs...

But maybe that's just me, as I'm convinced #JavaScript was a fundamentally bad decision - only topped by worse decisions like #Windows and #ix86 / #amd64 if we go by @stman and others...

Also unlike an #PFGA, #Transmeta did just-in-time low-level interpretation of #ix86 code and translation into it's native code (a very restricted #VLIW256 ISA) that wasn't even possible to run a regular OS due to it's spechalized nature...

Granted all #ix86 / #amd64 - #CPU's of the last 15 years do #SSE2, all of the last 10 #SSE3 and all of the last 5 #SSE4.
