SiS Matrox Trident and a dozen others... ) have been shrunk to a crowd of 2 may be 3...(refer to latest shrunk AMD/XILINX NV/ARM Intel/Altera.... )https://www.techpowerup.com/291511/chinese-regulators-approve-amds-usd-35-billion-acquisition-of-xilinxIt has been anything if not dog catch tail to keep planned obsolescence of every card and software toolchain in about a month... expecting to be worsen by Software Defined Silicon.. I have tried to keep hardware working for a decade tops...https://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=news_item&px=X.Org-Driver-Shambles-2022So now we watch the so called "new" "modern" Wayland systemd RUST gizmos survive the WINTEL uncle GOO juggernaut over the other alpha dogs... spreading over ANDROID and a whole new creature called"the-marine".... over MediaTek and SAMSUNG... ARM IPs...some days I am sick tired some days I can even laugh...this MADHOUSE...cost me some insane money and time to fill these landfills..and keep those MS darlings employed ...Today some comments made me felt I am not the only dog running after the tail..This is noo nooo noooooo rantcomments here and there... some laughs...Paul

The pay to function machine will not even require something like sim card...https://www.phoronix.com/forums/forum/phoronix/latest-phoronix-articles/1308047-intel-software-defined-silicon-planned-for-integration-in-linux-5-18nononnoono I will definitively not going back to the 80s/90s "mainstream desktop shit" locked and bricked stuff controlled by these modules and "modern goonies" crap-warePaul
