Cross compilation of entire distributions requires such distributions to be prepated for it. Which is not a case when you use OpenEmbedded/Yocto or Buildroot to build it. But it ge…

Because I can. Is it good enough answer?

I updated blog post after reading comments from Matrix/Slack/Phoronix/HN/Lobster/etc. places. - mentioned which board had 143 minutes, added info about time on Milk-V Megrez board …

Depends on how you look at it. Would you call Threadripper system "a normal build"? For many people they are normal builds because they need more computing power or more PCIe lanes…

Those auctions are where we looked at. No answer from seller - probably they did not wanted to deal with sending packages outside of USA.

Apple Mac you can buy now will have M3 or M4 cpu. While Asahi team supports only M1 and M2 families. So you cannot run Linux natively on currently-in-store Mac hardware. And raspbe…

"claims" is very good summary In my previous post https://marcin.juszkiewicz.com.pl/2025/06/20/the-hunt-for-a-... I wrote: > There were “Arm V9” systems before it, so it was not “W…

Apple Mx family of cpus supports only 4k and 16k page sizes. There is no way to run 64k binaries there without emulating whole cpu.

@lisper because Q32 is more expensive than Q64 and I got offer for Q80 one. Amount of options for sensible AArch64 hardware is too small (or too expensive).

OK, I tend to ignore HN but got link to this post from several people so will go and comment.

When you look at https://gpages.juszkiewicz.com.pl/arm-socs-table/arm-socs.ht... table then you can see that in Snapdragon 8xx series the first "ARM cores out of shelf" was 888 in …

Note that whole blog is about Arm architectures and platforms rather than x86(-64) ones.

Qualcomm 8cx cpu is based on smartphone one but optimized for laptop use.

If your work is all non-x86 then having powerful non-x86 box handy helps a lot.

AArch64 servers tend to have 10G (or faster) SFP+ ports rather than 1GbE.

Extra PCIe x1 slot on mainboard would be fine instead of on-board audio.

All ARM Servers need to be SBBR compliant. Which means UEFI+ACPI so each Linux distro just boots and works. SBC market is completely different thing. But that blog post was not abo…

Those workstations use server motherboards.
