I even rsync all my local changes from Mac to Ubuntu for development that requires a gpu.
When fuacia or magenta or whatever it's called now, becomes a thing, I'll see if I can switch :)
"ARM's lead processor architect Mike Filippo said that the new design would "do well" against Apple and roughly match the Intel Core i5-7300. That processor is a two-core, four-thread chip running at between 2.6 and 3.5 GHz using Intel's Kaby Lake architecture. With more cache, Filippo says that even i7 parts should be within reach."
on TSMC's 7nm process
With Ubuntu 18.04, Linux is more usable than ever... already runs my desktop and I'll be switching my laptop to Linux as well unless Apple releases something more suitable for power users this summer.
Have any real comparisons been done? Both on flexibility (platform support and code portability... I know... Nuttx, POSIX) and performance (interrupts, context switching, etc)
I've been looking at zephyr which seems all around better, albeit a bit less mature. I have no hard data though... Hence this question.
edit: you should def. explore all your options and choose the best one. don't discount any yet though
then for firmware, there are 3 modern forks of multiwii: cleanflight, betaflight and inav.
if you want gps navigation, put iNav on it: https://github.com/iNavFlight/inav/
if you want awesome flight performance, use betaflight
there is also a slightly more robust autopilot firmware, dronin (which is an openpilot continuation) which can run on the flight controller listed on that blog post: https://github.com/d-ronin/dronin/issues/9
full disclosure, that's my blog :)
