Keep in mind gcc even supports the still undocumented instructions (at least in the english world) such as the vector instructions for 128 and 256-bit vector registers. That's probably because people at Loongson were responsible for the implementation. They also maintain their own soft-forked Linux kernel and their patches eventually make it into mainline. Their soft-fork is more bleeding edge though I guess.

They have published documentation of the ISA in english though it's not complete: https://loongson.github.io/LoongArch-Documentation/README-EN.html

gcc and qemu already support la64 so cross compiling and basic testing is already possible for anyone.

It's not like you have any choice other than GNU/Linux if you get a LoongArch based computer lol. I don't think Apple will ever give a shit and Microsoft currently only has an ARM port of Windows which mostly works on some aarch64 boards. It's obviously a move to make themselves more independent of western closed source garbage.

You don’t need bleeding edge hardware to do email, spreadsheets, and document editing.

emacs ftw.

A Fed or specifically a CIA agent. People have been using the term ever since Terry Davis (a schizo programmer who developed his own OS) got popular. In one of his videos he says at some point that "the CIA ni***ers glow in the dark; you can see them if you're driving. You just run them over."

It's especially jarring when the post has like hundreds or even thousands of upvotes and tons of engagement, and then you check the subreddit and the average post there gets like 50 upvotes and a couple comments. I'm 100% certain some Imperial 3 letter agency has a legal bot farm just sitting around.

Debian is still the better distro overall compared to Ubuntu imo. and it's much more lightweight too. Canonical has become more and more like Microsoft in recent years.

I despise these influencer/content creator types that have made it their career. I remember when making videos and streaming was about fun, not making profit. I don't understand how anyone can watch these fake shitbags for hours and spend ANY amount of money on them or their shitty merch. Every time someone showed me videos of such "content creators" I felt pissed off afterwards. Not because of the people showing them to me, but because of the annoying, loud and capitalist nature of the videos/streams themselves. I just don't get it.

Documentation on loongson processors is still pretty sparse. So far they've only published a volume 1 which covers the basics. All the interesting stuff is still to be documented but for some reason they archived the repository a few months ago: https://github.com/loongson/LoongArch-Documentation/

I'm curious how a loongson SIMD optimized program would compare to the x86 equivalent.

I haven't tried it myself yet but I might give it a spin since it has a unique Desktop environment.
