Surveying the Challenges of Linux On Cortex A9-Based Laptops
Charbax writes "In this video, Jerone Young, lead partner engineer at Canonical, explains some of the challenges facing Canonical and other companies who are part of the new Linaro project, in preparation for the now imminent release of a whole bunch of ARM Cortex A9 Powered laptops and desktops likely to be manufactured by giants of the industry such as HP, Dell, Lenovo, and Toshiba, as well as lesser names such as Quanta, Invetec, Pegatron, and Compal, all of whom have been showing tens of early prototype designs of these ARM-powered laptops at trade shows around the world during the past year and a half. They're working to standardize the boot process, write drivers to use graphics and video hardware acceleration, optimize the web browser (Chrome and Mozilla), and implement faster DDR3 RAM and faster I/O bus speeds, as well as to optimize the software to use the new faster dual core ARM Cortex A9 processors."
The same reason "turkey club" won the battle vs "paying a hobo to shit on a piece of bread".
Do you even lift?
These aren't the 'roids you're looking for.
Unbelievable. Yeah, aside from that kernel that has been continuously developed and refined for almost 2 decades and has had billions of dollars pumped into it,
What part of "UI" don't you get? I'm assuming it's the "interface" part, though maybe the word "user" confuses you...
Either way, I'm done with you. You're clearly incapable of remaining focused on the actual topic at hand.
