@FairBoy

And you extrapolate from your experience that everyone else finds it the same?

As much as I'm a proponent of a virtualized 68k experience, if what you want most of all is the ability to run Amiga source compatible applications on an Amiga like environment with all the expectation of modern x64 multicore support, memory protection etc. then Ax Runtime is far and away the best bet going forwards.

Once the window chrome issue is solved and it's no longer "in your face" that you are running on a Linux desktop environment, then Ax will be at the intersection of things that people have been saying for years should be the "NG AmigaOS" that existing NG have failed to deliver time and again: Full SMP, 64-bit memory support, modern GL/Vulkan, etc. Embed UAE for compatibility with original applications under emulation, especially if made as transparent as possible, and you are set.

It was a question, not an asumption (sic). You can tell that it's a question, because it ends in a specific bit of punctuation colloquially known as a "question mark". I asked this question in hope of some clarification because your statement reads "It should not run AROS, because in fairness, in my experience, AROS is shit.". If it were in fairness, it would be based on the the merit of AROS and majority user experience of AROS, not a hand-picked sample of 1, namely your own.

But then again, you are... whoever you are. Perhaps English isn't your first language.

See? I can play the arsehole game too.

Friend Nonefornow,
what could possibly lead you to believe
that miguelito's words might carry any relevance?

You keep confusing speed with experience.

You could not get Commodore 64's scrolling, or sound, or the screen modes,
on a ZX Spectrum,
no matter how fast the ZX Spectrum was.

ALL DEVICES ARE NOW CAPABLE OF TRUE COLOR, OF FULL HI-FI DIGITAL SOUND OUTPUT,
OF SEAMLESS NETWORK CONNECTIVITY, OF PRETTY MUCH LIMITLESS STORAGE. THE HARDWARE IS IRRELEVANT.

EXPERIENCE, DIFFERENTIATION, ARE NOW IN THE OS ONLY.

And now,
cue a rigamarole on megahertzs and god only knows what,
god and zeus and ra and A WHOLE PANTHEON OF DEITIES PLEASE HELP ME KEEP ME CALM.

/M

Unfortunately, this analogy is not understandable to me since in the ZX spectrum was hardly sold in the US.

The C64 had already won the home computers wars. As a result of three main essential operators - Ram, Sid, and Vic.

And you have a cognitive dissonance that renders you unable to understand something unless you have the physical object in your hands or you have experienced it directly in some form.

Ok.

It did, because BACK THEN, B - A - C - K T - H - E - N pay attention, look at my lips,
don't get distracted BACK - THEN the hardware mattered. The hardware made a difference.
BACK THEN.
IN THE 1980s. In the 1970s.

Back then.


And now,
IT DOES
NOT.

The only part of a modern system that matters in any meaningful way is the processor and that's only because it dictates what form application binaries need to take. Even then, not always, given applications can be written in languages that compile to portable bytecode.

Pretty much every other hardware aspect is hidden behind layers of standardisation and abstraction.

It's great for consumers but also a bit sad for those of us who grew up in the golden age of home computing where every system was truly different and had its own unique character, strengths and weaknesses.

I'm going to have to disagree a bit there. GPU matter in the consumer features & bang for buck sense, but for everyday application and development use you don't really look past GL/Vulkan/DX layers.

The exception would be if you are using GPU for compute of course. OpenCL has somewhat petered out, CUDA is still in heavy use and Nvidia only, then there's whatever Apple have. Metal?

I was quite heavily into CUDA a few years back and even there, the PTX assembler output of the compiler goes through a runtime JIT translation for the specific GPU architecture in use. It's pretty abstracted.

The age of hardware as a differentiator died in the late 1990s.

The same could be said for most mature technologies. Take the modern motor car for example. They all drive on the same roads, have the same controls, take the same fuels etc. Some may be faster, or have more room inside or are more stylish etc., but as far as the driver is concerned what's 'under the hood' is irrelevant. Yet motor car enthusiasts still engage in endless banter on 'hardware' differences between drive chains. And why not? Life is a lot duller for those who just do 'driving' or 'computing' without appreciating the technologies that make these activities possible.

Silicon is great! Some silicon is forged into a central processing unit! These are like "little cities" (credit: Björk). Some have more cache and some run at a higher frequencies! Some run code out of order and other silicon is in-order! Most silicon is made in wafers by the MMX dancing men in white suits! The Apollo Team danced with them and created some groovy new AMMX dance moves that is powerful enough to allow the Blast Processing 1991 super computer app Sonic the Hedgehog to run on a 68k Vamped Amiga!



I hope that this is insightful and calms the trolls until their next feeding time.
