It should work. Someone confirmed it on the Ubuntu forum.

Ubuntu ARM Steam Snap Radxa Dragon Snapdragon SBC
YouTube video by LivingLinux Ubuntu ARM Steam Snap Radxa Dragon Snapdragon SBC

The Ubuntu team has updated the Steam snap package for ARM. It now includes the msm driver for Snapdragon chips. I wasn't able to enable thunking for OpenGL, but I can enable it for drm and Vulkan.

Colobot ARM Linux
YouTube video by LivingLinux Colobot ARM Linux

Colobot is an older game, but it is still being maintained by volunteers. You can program bots to help you with your missions in space.
It is available from the Debian repository (including for ARM and RISC-V), or from the website.

I think it's time to look into RISC-V regardless of the cost.
But if you want a cheap RISC-V board, have a look at the VisionFive 2 Lite.

SpacemiT K3 RISC-V Announcement
YouTube video by LivingLinux SpacemiT K3 RISC-V Announcement

SpacemiT announced the new K3 RISC-V chip. It's RVA23 compliant and has 8 performance cores (X100) and 8 AI cores (A100). We still have to wait a couple of months for the official release, but some people have remote access to some test boards.

You make your own choice. I'm not here to tell what you should do. The problem with a lot of SBCs (and that includes ARM) is that there are hardly any boards that can boot mainline images out of the box. It's not trivial to build your own image. I think Milk-V has images for Ubuntu and Bianbu?

Why do you keep pushing this as a RISC-V issue, while it clearly is more an issue with small teams? If this would have happened with the main RISC-V Fedora distro, I'd agree, but this is just a small team of volunteers creating images for SBCs.

30.01.2026 18:06 β€” πŸ‘ 0    πŸ” 0    πŸ’¬ 1    πŸ“Œ 0

You will probably run into similar issues with other small teams that maintain distros, regardless of the architecture.

Didn't they ditch the hardware video encoder in the Pi 5? You can do video encoding on the CPU, but that is not very efficient and might even lead to performance issues.

This is a Fedora-V Force issue, not a RISC-V issue.

Ik denk dat zolang de grote influencers niet op Mastodon zitten, dat het niet hard zal groeien. De meeste mensen worden niet enthousiast van een verhaal, hoe een kleine wijziging in een functie de Linux kernel veel sneller heeft gemaakt.

Red Hat strikes a crushing blow against RHEL downstreams From now on, only CentOS Stream's source code is available to all

Ik geef je de FEITEN! Dat is geen modder gooien, daar begon je zelf mee door Mark Shuttleworth door het slijk te halen.
Red Hat is een grote sponsor van Fedora, maar is tegenwoordig eigendom van IBM.
En je wil niet weten hoe "creatief" de juristen van IBM zijn.

300 miljoen dollars aan omzet voor Ubuntu in 2024 is geen hype en lijkt me meer serieus dan vele andere distros.
Fedora heeft het probleem dat ze in de pas moeten lopen met de juristen van IBM.

Windows on ARM Vulkan PPSSPP Snapdragon 8cx Gen2
YouTube video by LivingLinux Windows on ARM Vulkan PPSSPP Snapdragon 8cx Gen2

I was hoping to test RPCS3 on Windows on ARM. Unfortunately my Snapdragon 8cx Gen 2 is too old. I was able to get Vulkan installed, so I decided to test PPSSPP with Vulkan on Windows on ARM. I get better performance with Vulkan than with Direct3D on Windows on ARM.

I think ARM suing Qualcomm was the dumbest move ever. Qualcomm bought Ventana, so it looks like Qualcomm no longer bets just on ARM. Will be interesting to see if Qualcomm will negotiate a new ARM license in the future.

Yamagi Quake 2 Vulkan RISC-V
YouTube video by LivingLinux Yamagi Quake 2 Vulkan RISC-V

I think the iGPU will be a big step up from the one in the K1. But the biggest problem is usually a working Linux driver.
But I hope they have learned from the K1. You can play Quake 2 with the iGPU of the K1.

As long as you have Intel/AMD and preferably an Nvidia GFX-card, Pinokio is a 1-click solution.
But as soon as you run into an issue, you need to have some knowledge to fix the scripts. But if you have that kind of knowledge, you can wonder if you need Pinokio.

Pinokio AI 5.3.5 ARM Linux Fix
YouTube video by LivingLinux Pinokio AI 5.3.5 ARM Linux Fix

Looks like Pinokio AI 5.3.5 is no longer a 1-click solution on ARM Linux. There are issues that two modules don't have the ARM version installed.
You can fix it manually, but npm is not my friend (modules removed).

Windows Recall-functie werkt op oudere Snapdragon-pc’s Software-onderzoeker ontdekt truc; feature op beperkte chip en werkgeheugen functioneel.

Een ontwikkelaar had het al werkend op een oudere Snapdragon chip. Je hebt lang niet zo veel rekenkracht nodig als ze beweren. En een NPU kan heel veel schelen. Dus als MS niet eens weet wat hun eigen product kan, moet je de rest dan nog geloven?

Quake 2 is simple stuff? Add a GFX-card and you can even play more recent x86 games on RISC-V with Felix86 or Box64.

Windows en MacOS hebben echt geen 99+% marktaandeel. Volgens de Steam enquΓͺte draait Linux op 3% van de computers in de enquΓͺte (en ja, dat is geen afspiegeling van de "gemiddelde" gebruiker). En er is ook nog ChromeOS dat op een Linux kernel draait.

I'm not saying current leadership is a big factor. Mamdami showed you can win without changing the current leadership. As you say, let the democratic process play out, and that includes the leadership.
Saying you are fed up with the Democrats will only let the Republicans win.

Let me try again, do you really think a destroyed Democratic party is going to defeat the Republicans? The Republicans love to see a divided Democratic party. This is not the time for the "best" solution. You need to get rid of the Republicans. Do want you want after that.
