Agree - but even for the basic use case, it has not been trouble free for me. With a simple 1080p display on a desktop running LTS Ubuntu on an older 3060:
- I've had updates where stuff just stopped working and I had to futz around with drivers
- Just the fact that you have to 'pick' from a selection of drivers (which one won't you hit issues with for your use case?)
- At least on mine, there have been display glitches on suspend/resume - as it's a desktop, I just leave it running
Just anecdotal, but I never had these issues with the desktop AMD APU I had before it or Intel on board graphics on numerous laptops.
- IBM creates PC and its BIOS
- Phoenix creates clone of BIOS
- At some point, IBM/Lenovo stopped using its own BIOS
- IBM spins out Lenovo
- Lenovo buys Phoenix
In-house firmware, outsource, then in-house again.
Was thinking the same but also wow, but also ibm and Lenovo isn’t the same, Lenovo bought out the thinkpad line, not IBM.
In other news. Phoenix bios/efi and firmware is popular enough in numerous places so wonder where this will go next, Lenovo is already Chinese owned afaik Phoenix just USA but large employee base in Taiwan?
I did the same recently just for fun - I really enjoyed "Gravity Force" on the Amiga - itself a lunar lander variant.
Could a model build a Gravity Force like game I could run in-browser? Yep! (I never made it as good as Gravity Force - just got the basics down)
