There are a number of mainboard options available for Ampere Altra ARM-based servers.
I would ideally like to buy a 128 core or higher 1U or 2U rackmount machine for running a (if possible, type 1) hypervisor and several Linux and FreeBSD instances on top.
Which boards/vendors can you recommend, which should be avoided? Are there any ARM-based alternatives you could recommend?
Ubuntu 25.04: Better installer, support for Intel Arc, new PDF viewer
Ubuntu Linux 25.04 has been released. As usual for the middle release between two LTS versions, there are some changes to the basic system and the desktops.
Vlog S03E48: In this episode, we install Slackware AArch64 on Apple Silicon using Parallels on macOS. A full install takes ~10 minutes.

I think we've covered all the hypervisors now ;-)

For development on my laptop I mostly use Chimera Linux in WSL. Sometimes I need a more… conventional distro. For that I've been using Debian, and not my preferred Arch Linux. Arch is officially x86_64 only, so I originally wrote it off on this Snapdragon X machine.
Tonight I remembered Arch Linux ARM exists, and they do have generic aarch64 root file systems for download. I did a `wsl --import` and it's working well. Not sure why I didn't think of this earlier.

M5: New Apple Silicon chip soon in Mac and iPad
According to a report, the first models with Apple's new SoC will soon be released. It remains to be seen whether the iPad Pro will be given priority.
M5: Neuer Apple-Silicon-Chip bald in Mac und iPad
Einem Bericht zufolge erscheinen bald erste Modelle mit Apples neuem SoC. Fraglich bleibt, ob auch nun dem iPad Pro der Vortritt gelassen wird.
The entire international part of the #oc3 #confidentialcomputing conference is on YT
Remember Acorn Computers, the creators of the first ARM chip and BBC Micro? Take a trip down memory lane or catch up at the RISC OS North show, which kicks off tomorrow, March 29th, in Warrington, UK.

Qualcomm apparently accuses ARM to antitrust authorities
Qualcomm is said to have filed antitrust complaints against ARM in Europe, South Korea and the USA. ARM is withholding technology.
Was reading this @tuxedocomputers update on the status of their ARM based laptop https://www.tuxedocomputers.com/en/How-is-TUXEDOCOes-ARM-Notebook-Coming-Along.tuxedo and I’m disappointed that Qualcomm decided to shut the door. Is this because Microsoft is paying them to be exclusive? We can’t have nice things :-/ #tuxedo #linux #arm #qualcomm
Общеобразовательное о том, какие процессоры могут быть по архитектуре. С экскурсом в историю развития.
«Как Intel создал ARM, ARM похоронил MIPS, на очереди X86?» На нескольких видео-хостингах:
Как «яблоко» #Apple и «жёлудь» #Acorn объединившись создали ARM — Advanced RISC Machines в 1990-м, хотя в оригинале это было Acorn RISC Machine с 1985-м года.
Первый релиз на ARM6 состоялся в 1992-м году и был это КПК — Apple Newton PDA на базе процессора ARM610.
Для получения именно десктопного процессора #PowerPC эта же самая Apple с 1991 года была в альянсе с #IBM и #Motorola работавшими над #RISC процессором архитектуры Power. В результате работы альянса над этой архитектурой стало семейство PowerPC процессоров.
В это время у Sun Microsystems было семейство SPARC — тоже на базе RISC, ставшее процессорами и для рабочих станций и для серверов. Первые системы #SunMicrosystems на процессорах #SPARC начали поставляться в 1987 году и на 1989 год были дешевле Intel 80386 процессора.
Кстати, именно серверные RISC-процессоры уже стали 64-х разрядными в реальных машинах, когда #x86 только планировали выбираться из 32-х разрядности.

Qualcomm schwärzt ARM offenbar bei Kartellbehörden an

Google said today that its Drive app for Windows is now “generally available” for all users with Arm-powered PCs (including Snapdragon X chipsets), meaning they support the Google Drive app for Windows natively.
