Testing Stable-Diffusion.cpp with Vulkan on an AMD RX550. It's not really stable on my machine (ARM Phytium D2000). Sometimes it crashes, sometimes the generation steps take 38s, and sometimes 10s. But at least I know it is possible. github.com/leejet/stabl... youtu.be/7alYAZ_GGzU

Doing a quick test of the Doogee U12 Android 16 tablet. I was a bit disappointed YouTube only goes up to 720p60. Local videos don't have that limitation, but 4K is a bit too much for this budget tablet. Don't expect to play the latest and greatest 3D games, but Asphalt is fine. youtu.be/lfkKnX4tt3w

Just received my (budget) Android 16 tablet. Doogee U12 12" 90Hz FHD+ IPS Display with Unisoc T7255 (rebranded T616), 2*A75 2GHz and 6*A55 1.8GHz. Here is my unboxing of the VIP edition (screen protector, case, charger, mouse, keyboard and stylus). www.doogee.com/products/u12 youtu.be/HYbZVXsFHpc

I was surprised to see that someone is still maintaining the action flight simulator GL-117. This games is more than 20 years old! The game will benefit from good OpenGL support. codeberg.org/wickedsmoke/... youtu.be/J2W6BryXwbY

Booting openSUSE on a Raspberry Pi 5. They are still working on fully enabling the Pi 5, but I think it's usable as a server. 3D acceleration is still WIP, but you can start a desktop session. And you can use YaST for administrative tasks, so you don't have to use a terminal. youtu.be/8SNym6Pea-o

I found a post on Reddit that someone is working on a fork of llama.cpp to run GGUF models on the NPU of the Rockchip RK3588. It still uses a lot of CPU, but any help from the NPU is a bonus. www.reddit.com/r/RockchipNP... youtu.be/J-ztitWPw6g

This summer's crowdfunding campaign for the Liberux NEXX Linux smartphone was a failure, but the Liberux team says it's secured new funding to continue the project and is hiring a developer to help work on open source software for the work-in-progress phone. mastodon.social/@Liberux/115...

Testing PS3 emulation on the Radxa Dragon Q6A Snapdragon 6490 SBC. Don't expect to play a lot of games, but a smaller title like Super Stardust HD is possible. youtu.be/hB3KnWP3HhU

I had an issue with building the Armbian image based on Ubuntu 25.10 (Questing Quokka). I had to remove the package nautilus-extension-gnome-terminal from the build script. There was also an issue with the Snap Daemon, but a reinstall fixed that: sudo apt reinstall snapd youtu.be/eZ2KLH14UHg

Playing Celeste 64 on ARM Linux. You do need a good OpenGL driver. I wasn't able to get it working on my Rockhip RK3588 SBC, but it is working on the Radxa Dragon Q6A with the Snapdragon QCS6490 (OpenGL 4.6). maddymakesgamesinc.itch.io/celeste64 youtu.be/u-W8X8SzE7s

One kernel compile to add hidraw later, and it works! Passkeys on RISC-V is possible!

Testing Fedora 42 on the RISC-V SBC Muse Pi Pro with the SpacemiT K1 SoC. It's not a mainline image, but a Fedora image from the Fedora-V Force team. It's not ready for general use, as I ran into a couple of issues. And perhaps it will work better with a discrete GPU. youtu.be/bIQod20OFUM

Unfortunately sound isn't working with the current Fedora 42 image for the Radxa Dragon Q6A Qualcomm Snapdragon SBC. The Vulkan driver is working better than in Ubuntu 24.04. Blender 4.5 is working with Vulkan and I was able to build 0.A.D. The Arch image wasn't working btw. youtu.be/XjvQf-WRZnk

Testing some games and emulation on the Radxa Dragon Q6A Snapdragon SBC. PS2 emulation works fine with Vulkan, but I saw some issues with OpenGL. Tested the Linux games Speed Dreams, Luanti and 0 A.D. And Half-Life 2 from Steam with Fex-Emu and Android with Waydroid. youtu.be/RC6OgnSgpKw

It's the first time that I have an SBC that can run OpenGL 4.6 on the iGPU. The Radxa Dragon Q6A (Snapdragon QCS6490 ARM SoC) can start Blender and Godot without having to spoof a higher OpenGL version. Video playback still needs some work. youtu.be/2NKWGx1zSEo

I received the Radxa Dragon Q6A, a Qualcomm Snapdragon Dragonwing QCS6490 single board computer. I was able to put it in a generic Raspberry Pi case. I'm not sure if the case has enough room for the eMMC/UFS module. youtu.be/FWIUirxgOZQ

Has it ever happened that you installed a Linux package from the command line, and ended up with something that you didn't expect? Some distros don't have the package chromium, and will suggest to install chromium-bsu. youtu.be/ZpGm7us8Btw

Big news for #raspberrypi users! Raspberry Pi 5 now has upstream #UBoot support, thanks to #SUSE’s Hardware Enablement team. Boot #openSUSE Tumbleweed or #MicroOS with ease; once PCIe support lands, #USB boot will just work. news.opensuse.org/2025/11/04/r...

Manjaro (Arch Linux based) is still being maintained for ARM. You can get pre-release builds from Github. I'm testing the EFI image on the Libre Computer Alta, with the Amlogic A311D. youtu.be/3ip1of1hzAY github.com/manjaro-arm

Qualcomm isn't exactly known for good Linux support, but for now I have enough choice with the Radxa Linux image, Deepin, Fedora, Armbian and Arch. The Radxa Q6A should arrive in two weeks. radxa.com/products/dra...

Testing ARMSX2, PS2 Emulator for Android. It's an early release, so there are still some issues, but the performance looks promising. armsx2.net youtu.be/ryuHq11_xwM

I hope you don't have the VisionFive 2 v1.2a RISC-V SBC, as the manual upgrade process takes a long time. The new 202510 Debian should work directly on the v1.3b board and the VisionFive 2 Lite. youtu.be/WJS8Vs_AyF8 forum.rvspace.org/t/visionfive...

I had some issues with the new custom Debian Trixie image for the VisionFive 2 RISC-V SBC. I have an early version of the board, v1.2, so I had to run the scripts to do the upgrade, as the image doesn't work on my board. forum.rvspace.org/t/visionfive-2-lite-debian-202510-released/5714/

Testing the game Veloren on ARM. I had an issue with a disappearing mouse pointer on Wayland, so I switched to x11. Performance was also a lot better on x11. I hope they will improve compatibility with Wayland. youtu.be/SdSoIAK9HIM

Fedora allowing AI-assisted contributions has started a lot of discussions. Some distros have banned AI-assisted contributions for now, but what if Linus Torvalds starts using AI to help with kernel maintenance? youtu.be/72t0Tq-clrw diginomica.com/kubecon-chin...

Someone mentioned you can use the Android app Local Dream to run Stable Diffusion on the NPU of a Snapdragon 8 chip. Here I'm testing it on a SD 8 Gen 3. youtube.com/shorts/5FPJn... play.google.com/store/apps/d...

There are a lot of apps to run AI locally on your phone. Nexa AI asked me to have a look at their Android app. As they released a fully working app for free, I made a video for free. Some models need fast hardware (GPT-OSS 20B). Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 or better recommended. youtu.be/hXqNwbp-wXA

Upside of using #bevy and open tooling is you can get your games to compile on non corporate approved architectures. I just got the #aarch64 and #RISCV builds running. If you have real RISC-V hardware and want to test let me know. Here is the game running natively on a Pine Book Pro. #GameDev

Speed Dreams is a 3d cross-platform, open source motorsport simulation and racing game. It is a fork of the open racing car simulator Torcs. Here I play it on ARM Linux (Rockchip RK3588). youtu.be/wIHoMpTeHOs

Blender 4.0 on ARM Linux. Blender is available from the Debian repository, but it doesn't come with the denoiser. You do need an ARM system with OpenGL 4.6 support, so I only got it working with my Phytium D2000 with AMD Radeon RX550. youtu.be/kNi5NbCqemQ

Unvanquished on the ARM Rockchip RK3588 (OpenGL 2.1).On Medium settings it can get to around 100fps, but using High settings gives a big drop to around 35-40 fps. youtu.be/s-LfjMXlGk8

My first test of Pop!_OS 24.04 LTS Cosmic Beta. Still needs some work, but it is usable on my AMD Ryzen 7 8845HS. I also see reports from people that they have severe issues. I have the suspicion that things might not be so smooth for Nvidia owners. system76.com/pop/ youtu.be/7DvnR5DTdmE

I tried to run the game Luanti (formerly Minetest) on RISC-V. Looks like you need a properly working OpenGL 3.3 driver. It's really slow on the RISC-V hardware that I have available, but you probably have a better result with an AMD GPU. youtu.be/Cf7UFvFPC6o
