Intel and AMD chips are not 100% compatible either. Also chip production isn't cheap. Chips are physical objects, unlike software just having the source code isn't enough to "compile" it.
I think it's possible, open source hardware is much easier to sell than open source software because unlike software it's a physical object. Just having the source code isn't enough to "compile" it, it will cost you much.
Well, even GPU (which is orders of magnitude faster then running a native binary on a CPU) mining isn't practical today. Nowadays farms with special chips are used. Your website should be very popular and the users must stay long there to have a benefit. Besides that it would greatly degrade the user experience and browsers can give a warning.
I don't understand why "user-hostility" isn't in that list of reasons. To me, that's the primary thing above all else. I could deal with crap as long as it was generally easy to learn to use and then mostly stayed out of my way to let me get stuff done. Instead, the CLI is probably one of the worst mechanisms in history in terms of being able to figure it out and it's the most important thing for getting into Linux. The only people that scoff at the learning curve are people that have already powered through it.
Perhaps because he works for Red Hat and probably is a GNOME developer.
This. As the original poster I don't imply that all the reasons written by Christian F.K. Schaller are root causes as he probably fails to see the bigger picture, considering that he is one of the people (most likely, i'll check later) behind the GNOME 3 abomination. For example I only agree with these points:
- Lack of API and ABI stability
- Red Hat mostly stayed away
- Canonical's business model not working out
What are the advantages of eelo over LineageOS? I guess it's yet another LineageOS fork like a pointless Linux distro fork or respin. And some people wonder why Linux failed on the desktop.
IMHO NVIDIA cards only make sense for things like gaming, video editing or many VMs which also require high-end hardware with >= 8GB of ram. For web surfing and document editing 4GB, x86_32 and Intel Graphics are fine.

640GB should be enough for everybody.

Why PCs should die? Only an Y generation idiot would claim that mobile is killing PC. Even the most common tasks are more convenient on a PC/laptop.

Does this have the security bug the older CPUs have?
You mean the memory consumption for that era?

But of course, there're still problems. Other companies can still steal your ideas or "fork" your chips. So don't expect to be very competitive.
By selling the chips.

Intel doesn't have monopoly, they have competitors in mobile, desktop and server spaces.
80-90% of x86 CPUs.
I think it time for Zhaoxin CPUs. Monopolies are not good thing.
The same is with x86, of course they'll not maintain 2 separate x86 kernels only because some x86 CPUs are not affected.

Mac OS is slowly and confidently becoming Linux.
of Chrome OS on the desktop?
What's so surprising? There're huge price jumps and falls in not so long periods of time.
Well, if doing so at the cost of user experience, then you can lose some users. https://bitcoin.stackexchange.... It's roughly $0.37 USD per day.
The question is: is it really practical? Even GPU (which is orders of magnitude faster then an x86_84 binary with SSE) mining isn't practical today.

Can javascript be used for mining? But I guess it would be slow.
