Glad you enjoyed what System76 and Ampere have been working on!

Really cool seeing ARM on the desktop. It's fascinating to think about how Ampere could be used for live pre/post media production on Linux.

I hope System76 sends LGC a new ampere system for testing. Great Show!

I’m eager to see some KZbin reviews that put a Thelio Astra vs. a Mac Studio in various benchmarks and rendering tests. It’s certainly great to see more high-end ARM offerings on the market, to push innovation. And even with the Thelio Astra aimed at car development, hopefully people out there can come up with a lot more usage cases for a system that combines ARM and NVIDIA into one case.

Indeed. I want to see if can replace the gen-1 Threadripper in the studio used to record / stream this show.

@@InterfacingLinux it can do the work, is a matter of when (not if) your key software is available.

I know this is a pipe dream but one can hope that those licensing shenanigans would make companies more interested in open standards like RISC-V. When I see that "Contact our sales team" .. well, I wouldn't be surprised if the price was in the 5-10k range.
