Live and recent posts from across the Fediverse tagged #loongarch, aggregated by home.social.

  1. Having fun with alternate #ISA like #RISC_V #RISCV #ARM #PowerPC #LoongArch is fun but also revealing how bad people code these days even aside from SLOP, when something like #Discord or #Fluxer absolutely murders your little dev board or in general how popular using web apps over a framework is, just bloody sucks.

  2. #China’s #Loongson launches homegrown 16-core server #CPU built on #LoongArch architecture — 40W chip with DDR4 ECC and 32 PCIe lanes targets cheap SMB file, database, and web #servers
    Support for China’s local software and hardware ecosystem also appears to be a selling point
    Unlike the 36C000, which Loongson says matches Intel’s Xeon, company is positioning #3C3000 as a low-cost, high-performance #server CPU for customers that need general-purpose compute rather than AI

  7. Lilbits: Half Life on ReactOS, a mouse with a horizontal scroll wheel, and MS PowerToys 0.100

    These days you can play plenty of Windows games on Linux PCs thanks to Valve’s proton software. And a growing number of games that were originally made for Windows have also been ported to run natively on Linux.

    All of which is to say that if you really want to run an older PC game like Half Life on an open source operating system, you have plenty of options for doing that. But it’s still […]

  11. Beelink's Me Pro is a NAS that's currently available with Intel inside, and the company says AMD and Arm-powered models are on the way. Now it looks like customers in China will have another option thanks to a model with a Loongson 2K3000 chip. ithome.com/0/963/658.htm

    Предисловие. Немного философское Недавно в российском информационном пространстве прогремело заявление заместителя Председателя Правительства России Ю.П. Трутнева, сделанное на 10-ой российско-китайской выставке ЭКСПО в Харбине:

  17. I have code for 1 KiB PageGrain on MIPS qemu, which should enable a demonstration of handling a case very near VAX 512 B pages while seamlessly guaranteeing within-allocation-unit promotions to 4 KiB and 16 KiB for 64 KiB allocation units and also seamlessly handling superpage promotions to sizes that are power-of-four multiples of 64 KiB. I think there may have been some testing of a similar scenario using 256 KiB allocation units on LoongArch, but while it was verified that it didn't crash, not much was done to make sure that effective use was being made of sub- allocation unit -sized superpages esp. when there were multiple superpage sizes available between the minimum MMU mapping granularity and the kernel allocation unit.

    Rolling pgcl forward to 7.0 and the intermediate pre-7.1 somehow resuscitated binutils issues with running LTP and DAMON on hppa and some others, but it got to having no LTP regressions vs. master on 16 arches. I still need to induce enough fragmentation within a qemu session to be able to observe non-negligible defragmentation costs that might be reduced.

  18. I just tested the IceWM 4.0 update on Chimera. I have a fondness for IceWM as it was the first WM I ran on my work computer in my first job out of university. Great to see it still seeing new releases. Here it is running on my little loongarch64 box.

  24. 40 млн строк кода: как меняется ядро Linux в 2026 году

    Начало 2026 года для сообщества ядра Linux получилось насыщенным. В конце января в документацию добавили раздел Linux kernel project continuity. В нем описывается, что произойдет, если ключевые участники проекта внезапно не смогут выполнять свою работу. Обсуждения шли еще на Maintainers Summit в декабре 2025-го, и теперь этот вопрос зафиксирован в документации в явном виде. Все вполне логично. Ядро Linux давно превратилось в часть огромной мировой инфраструктуры — с десятками миллионов строк кода, тысячами разработчиков из компаний по всему миру и постоянным давлением со стороны требований к производительности, безопасности и энергоэффективности. Поэтому сообщество вынуждено не только поддерживать текущий уровень стабильности, но и экспериментировать, стараться сделать систему гибче и надежнее. В 2026 году проявились несколько направлений такой работы — от Rust и планировщиков до поддержки новых архитектур. Давайте посмотрим, что тут и как.

  31. I've had no luck with any of the Wayland desktops I've tried on this loongarch machine. All fail to start with one error or another related to graphics. X11 XFCE session seems to be working ok though.

    Performance is not amazing but seems decent. E.g. browsing the modern web seems fine, including JS heavy sites like Mastodon and Mattermost. Speedometer result and allsorts build time for reference.

  33. I got Chimera installed on the loongarch mini-PC. Installation was very smooth, basically identical to an x86_64 install. I also installed GNOME, but gnome-shell is unstable. I can log in and poke around for a brief amount of time, but then it crashes and I'm back at the login screen. Looks like I have my first project there.

  35. Well it works, but there is a snag. It seems the fan runs full speed the whole time, and it _does not_ sound good.

    Aside from that, it ships with Loongnix, a dedicated Linux distro running KDE 5. I can't seem to access the pkg servers, so haven't been able to add fastfetch or anything like that.

    Seems to pull a bit under 30W when idle.
