Linux on non-PCs/Laptops in c/[email protected]

Linux is much more commonly used in embedded systems than Windows for obvious reasons.

Is there a program that I can run on my laptop to tell me what Linux distro supports the hardware out of the box? Also whether the hardware is supported at all? in c/[email protected]

Anyone here use assembly? in c/[email protected]

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 month ago

OS and embedded dev here. I use assembly all the time. I've even worked on firmware that was entirely in assembly of strict requirements that couldn't be met in C.

Also even machine code hides a lot about how the underlying machine works so if you really want to do computing from scratch you really do hate to invent the universe because there's abstractions all the way up the hardware stack just like there is in software.

Most will just block themselves there like pornhub does in the states that require checking IDs in the US.

How long until society's collapse? in c/[email protected]

Nothing's going to collapse. Prior generations had their own share of problems and so do we and we will find some way to get through it all just like they did.
