A big shout out to these little guys who run #OpenJDK integration tests for #ARM day and night. And sometimes find serious regressions.

Also a huge shout out to the #OpenJDK community for maintaining Java on different platforms (also at day and night).

Earlier in the week I did the fairly small amount of work to bring up Chimera Linux on a recently acquired Radxa ROCK 4C+ single board computer. It almost worked on the first try. The image booted, but there was no HDMI output. I didn't know it was working until this morning, when I hooked up to the serial console and was able to get it on the network.

openSUSE considering to drop 32-bit ARM support, announced a survey to ask users whether they still rely on 32-bit ARM hardware support:
https://www.phoronix.com/news/openSUSE-Deciding-32-bit-ARM
(I think it's a good thing that at least they ask their users directly, and don't just drop the proposal if there's a strong pushback like what Fedora did.)

KDE Frameworks 6.16 released with improved recognition of the most powerful GPU, support for showing the newest files first in open/save dialogs, inertial scrolling (a.k.a. kinetic scrolling) for all scrollable views in all QtQuick-based KDE applications when scrolled using a touchpad, etc.:

Ich denke seit längerem nach, mir für die Entwicklung einen neuen #laptop mit #arm zuzulegen. Am besten was aktuelles und leistungsstarkes, was unter #ubuntu verwendbar ist.

Darauf würden mehrere #docker Container laufen, ein #dnsmasq damit ich lokale Domains verwenden kann und alles unter dem Dach #php und ggf. weiterer Technologien, welche aber im Container laufen.

Die #gpu sollte nicht zu schwach sein, damit ich mindestens 3 Monitore ansteuern kann, die aber remote.

Jemand Erfahrungen?
