  1. #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

  3. 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 And a growing number of games that were originally made for Windows have also been ported to run natively on Linux.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 […]

  4. 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

  7. 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.

  9. 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.

    🖥️ Exploring Linux on a LoongArch Mini PC

    I wrote about my early experience with M700S LoongArch based mini PC. Open it up to look inside, and install Linux on it. There's a bunch of pictures too.

  14. 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.

  16. 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.

  18. 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.

  20. Weird new computer arrived. While it looks like a regular mini-PC it has a Loongson 3A6000 CPU with 4 cores, 8 threads and a MIPS derived instruction set architecture (ISA). The aim is to install Chimera Linux on it, and have it be a test bed for building packages, and testing software compatibility. Depending on power consumption I might give it some server duties too.

  24. I have gotten my #Loongson 3a5000 to at least POST and make video. I'll have to get a Linux install together to run on it. Anyone know how to make the speaker stop shrieking during the UEFI shell? #loongarch

  26. Exciting milestone for open-source hardware: LoongArch ecosystem now boasts broad toolchain and OS support, as tracked by 'Are We LoongYet?'. This maturity for China's homegrown CPU architecture highlights the power of community-driven innovation in diverse, federated tech landscapes.

  29. Как китайцы убили x86, ARM и создали своё — детектив Восточном экспрессе

    Привет, постоянные и не очень читатели! Пора вернуться к моим любимым архитектурам, процессорам, техпроцессам и всему причастному. Это седьмой и САМЫЙ масштабный материал из цикла (и, вероятно, во всём Рунете) про китайские ISA, микроархитектуры и микроэлектронику. Что было раньше: Part I : Скандальное разоблачение x86: ARM врывается с двух ног (58K, +61, 160 комментариев) Part II : Этой индустрии нужен новый герой: ARM врывается с двух ног Part III : Китайский киднэппинг: похищение дочки Part IV : RISC‑V — звезда родилась: x86 не у дел, ARM сломала две ноги (67K, +64, 207 комментариев) Part V : Смерть GPU/CPU на транзисторах — архитектура квантовых компьютеров Part VI : У VLIW длиннее x86: Itanium в шаге от величества, Эльбрус — подержите моё пиво, тайны PS2 Part VII: Как китайцы x86 и ARM убили и создали своё — детектив в Восточном экспрессе ← ВЫ ЗДЕСЬ Part VIII — ██████████████. В этом лонгриде я расскажу вам всё о серверных процессорах из Поднебесной на всех ключевых архитектурах: ARM (Huawei), x86 (Zhaoxin), RISC-V (T-Head) и LoongArch (Loongson). Будет и про строящиеся мегафабрики Huawei, и про создание независимой ISA (как наш Эльбрус, но с конкурентными продуктами и производством), и про китайские лицензированные x86-процессоры, и про многое другое. Бонусом в каждом разделе распишу интересные факты про иероглифы в названиях компаний и их продуктах (символизм в китайской культуре). Например, вы узнаете, как компания Медоед куёт свои процессоры из легендарной стали (образно), чтобы бесстрашно сражаться с западными техногигантами (буквально). И это не шутка, а оммаж на мемы про медоедов . Дамы и господа — Восточный экспресс готов к посадке. Пожалуйста, позвольте стюарду проводить вас к личному купе. Дропдаун

  30. The Orange Pi Nova is an upcoming single-board PC with a Loongson 2K3000 processor, up to 32GB of DDR4 memory, 2.5 GbE and Gigabit Ethernet, and plenty of other I/O. It'll most likely be a China-only product. linuxgizmos.com/orange-pi-nova

  32. I've been seeing a lot of people saying they would love proxmox on raspberry pi obviously unaware that that's a reality for years by now.

    If you are one of 'em have a look at
    github.com/jiangcuo/pxvirt/wiki

    pxvirt is the new name of the pimox project
    It supports running proxmox on ARM64, RISC-V & LoongArch.

    I personally only tested it on Raspbery Pi 4 & 5 as I still need a performant RISC-V system and a LoongArch machine.

    Alpine #Linux follows closely upon the release of a new #LTS kernel version: 6.12
    Alpine 3.21 has a raft of other updates along with the kernel: updated development tools including .NET 9, and new desktops including KDE Plasma 6.2, LXQt 2.1, and GNOME 47
    The version before this one, Alpine 3.20, added #RISCV back in May. Now, it gains another: the quite #MIPS-like Chinese #Loongson
