From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

"some workloads saw improvements, overall system performance slightly declined, and binary sizes increased." So -O3 isn't paying off in the Ubuntu packaging world for now and will be reverted soon.

Here is me (still) hoping for arm64 to become mainstream just like x86_64.

t. I'm typing this on my orange pi 5 max. And the gap between this pc and a "typical" x86_64 one is almost nonexistant.

I'd really rather we skip over ARM and head straight for RISC V. ARM is a step in the right direction though.
