This may take time but Intel have extremely deep pockets, they understand the value of presence in this market, I’m sure they can and will stick to it.

There’s no stupid questions here - there’s absolutely nothing intuitive about computer ecosystems 😅
Like AMD, they use a kernel module and their user space drivers are in Mesa. If anything, you may have a better OOTB experience with Intel graphics on distros that have more recent packages, like Fedora.
A third player is absolutely welcome to the game but their share is for now still small on Windows.
The Arc Alchemist dGPU bringup has shown the world just how difficult graphics driver software is. They’ve made excellent progress lately in key areas (on both Windows and Linux) but there are are still many odd gaps to fill.
Battlemage mobile looks pretty exciting, mind you.
I mean, sure but even phoenix based OEM platforms tend to ship with win11 anyways, right? Did any of those release with win10 ootb?
Isn’t the same true for the 7950X3D?
I doubt you would have many issues using win10 on this platform if you wanted to.
It’s not very intuitive but it isn’t so bad once you’re familiar; you can take a look at this whenever’s convenient for you.
When you boot the system, you should briefly see your BIOS splash screen, along with the key combo to get into your BIOS setup menu. Let us know which mainboard vendor you have and we may be able to tell you in advance (For Asus, it’s usually F2, for Gigabyte its the Delete key, for MSI it might be F12 etc). I just mash the specified key when prompted until I’m in.
There’s usually also a key that you can hit to select a temporary boot device (I.e. I can hit F12 on my gigabyte board to select any OS detected by the BIOS, not just boot into the top entry).
Once you’re in, have a look for the ‘Boot’ section. You should have the capability to define your boot order. These entries can consist of traditional disks connected via SATA/SCSI/m.2, USB drives, network locations etc.
You can arrange this boot order however you like.
I would also recommended temporarily disconnecting any existing drives when installing an OS on your system (e.g.: Windows attempts to store its bootloader on SATA 0 by default, even if the OS isn’t destined for that drive).
I’d recommend separate physical disks if possible. Set your boot order via uefi
Strix Point is a monolithic die APU, though to your point, it’s comprised of a variety of IP (CPU, GPU, NPU, IO / SoC functionality) from across the business.
Strix Halo is rumoured to be a multi-chip product.
That’s fair enough, though one of the characteristics I had in mind was also battery life (that said, it would be at a given level of performance so either way).
Also definitely not thrilled about things like ME, Pluton and so on.
We’re a ways away from reaching equivalent performance characteristics of the currently available options they have with RISC V, but I would also love to see that as well.
These newer modules are lower profile than SODIMM, and do not carry the same frequency/ throughput and latency limitations. LPCAMM effectively eliminates the need to solder RAM to mobile platform main boards, though we’ll see how vendors react.
There’s FOSS apps from fdroid, fairemail or protonmail or something of the sort, CalyxOS or GrapheneOS (ironically targets the Pixel series primarily, though they sometimes sell these at a loss around the holiday season).
Helldivers 2 uses the autodesk stingray engine, which has generally been cussed for its jankiness
can this be hidden via registry or group policy?
To be fair to them, techbro audience is a solid bet
That’s fair enough. Diversity from OEMs would be nice, sort of reminds me of the cyanogen co days…
I don’t know if you can really replace android with android.
How does this compare to Graphene and Calyx?
E: I don’t see any public repos for the ROM, but I guess that could be a thing later? No mention in the article or their website on if they plan on open sourcing it, but I’m not at my desk right now to check thoroughly enough.
Good to know, though same could be said for ROCm + HIP for AMD. Gets a bit weird as you generally want that for OCL support too.
