Thank you. Do you know the performance of 3b mainboards, again compared to an
intel duo core 2ghz computer? Will 3b mainboards be free software devices?
Wandboards have vivante gpus. I cannot determine if novena board also has
vivante gpus. Novena board will get free software 2 and 3d
I upgraded to a Lenovo X60t (with coreboot and L7400 Core 2 Duo CPU),
it's much faster.
Loongson 3 computers use AMD GPUs which need nonfree software. Graphics
is slow even with the GPU driver using the nonfree firmware. Support in
FSF-endorsed distros is mostly dead, mainline kernel support is
Does Lemote have any relation to Imagination Technologies? I'm asking in
relation to Legimet's post here:
