AMD has substantially more CPU/Microarch design experience.

One thing to keep in mind is that Windows/Mac/Linux do render fonts differently - they may not look identical to macOS out of the box, but there's a lot of configuration options (if you want to play with them) to get them to look the way you want.
In every Linux thread on HN, macOS fans seem to disregard the fact that Linux has to support so many more hardware configs entirely. In fact they'd compare the experience of them installing Ubuntu on a $300 Best Buy laptop they got for $150 on Black Friday and wonder why the experience isn't up to par compared to their 2019 decked out $3000 MBP.
I highly doubt it's that rather than the fact special interest are prioritized over 'effective government' in large parts due to some conservatives and neoliberals promoting the idea of corruption == freedom. When there's a thousand ways to legally bribe politicians, of course there's no incentive for effective government.
You do realize a wealth tax is one way to bring in income to try to fix these problems right? You guys don't even have universal healthcare in the middle of a global pandemic. Laughably sad.
I specifically said per-ordering. I agree CDPR should have been more upfront about this being an 'impossible port' so to speak.
Still better than XCode which regularly looses syntax highlighting for no reason in 2020.
It prevents little in practice and makes it so that your original differentiator i.e. open source is no longer true.
It is for me and many others. Emacs works great under XWayland but Chromium HW video acceleration doesn't.
Emacs is a community project whereas Chromium has billions poured into it. Even Wine's getting Wayland support now and that ran under XWayland fine.
I don't think it's that unfair. Firefox on Linux is just better. Leaves some to be desired, sure, but a lot less than Chromium.
Telegram Desktop is a Qt app. Not that it offers E2E so not really comparable to Signal imo.
You'd still have to develop all the device drivers required for this custom SoC. After all, Linux doesn't need a license but without extensive documentation and support from Apple it's like saying you're free to challenge your boss openly, it's pedantically true, but it is impossibly impractical for most.
Unless Apple provides extensible documentation for 3rd party drivers to be developed for their SoCs it's just cheap talk from their side.
Contrary to most commenters, I am actually optimistic. I switched to Arch on the desktop a decade ago because I was tired of having to often nuke and pave my install every 6 months. I am still with Arch all these years later, even for my work machine and I work as a programmer so instability wouldn't fly.
Obviously the support window for CentOS was much, much longer, but if they're careful we can perhaps have the convenience of a rolling release with the stability of RHEL, or close to then more power to them.
My only concern is the short EOL window for current CentOS 8 users.
I wonder whom you'd consider an ethical buyer apart from the software maker for a closed source software since no one else can realistically patch it?
Zen3 looks pretty on par with the Apple stuff, maybe it's finally time for OEMs to adopt AMD in a serious way so they can invest into R&D even more.
