I'm swapping back to an old project because I refuse to give up on it completely. My other projects are going to be shoved to the side as these are almost a waste of effort.
For those who were interested in my prior work, this will be something new. It's going to be simplified to the core ideas and held together with duct tape. A new view and a fresh start.
I'll try to document the development and have updates when they are appropriate. This isn't a small effort and it will take time. Hopefully this will be decent.
It is actually going to be made and released because it isn't going to be the massive time sink that the other set was.

People in congress are too stupid to tie their own shoes, and read below a 4th grade level confirmed.
Stabilizing braces were made for handicapped people to hold a weapon with one arm with poor grip strength. They don't move at all for that reason. It's basically attaching a weapon to your arm, so you won't drop it.

So the Architectures of the last 4 supercomputers might be surprising.
x86-64 with Radeon
Arm and something else.
Power9 (2 Processors paired with 4 Tesla GPUs)
Sunway
PowerPC is not dead and Sunway is believed to be most closely related to DEC but that's a stretch.
PowerPC, OpenSPARC and other open RISC designs aren't going away anytime soon.
It would have been easier to develop on a microkernel if I didn't pick four of them. My relationship problems in the past too.

I dont want to be bitter and angry all the time if I have the choice tbh
Updating UEFI on a Thinkpad just feels like it's going to break. It does use TianoCore so that's something cool. It just keeps me updated with compatibility for the latest malware.

The PowerPC Architecture is supposed to be around into the 2030s.
I've tried another FSF Approved Distribution and it is surprisingly good. The test computer was a 4th gen Intel board with iGPU. Linux-libre did what it could to mitigate and it managed to do well. It's a 4rd Gen Intel CPU and microcode patches don't exist for all the vulnerabilities. 5 are mitigated by Linux-libre, 3 require microcode patches and one is just there. Perhaps there are other exploits but I didn't install this to be secure.
Performance is great and I would definitely recommend this to anyone who wants a FSF distro. It's Guix and I'm enjoying it. It's not like every other distro unless I'm using a terminal. I haven't compiled and tested my usual software for it yet. It feels very solid and mature. I used Trisquel for a few years and I might use Guix for a few years too.
Tl;dr I have been testing a FSF Approved Distribution and it is really cool. Skip their other distros and pick this one. It is one of the few Linux distros that really impressed me.
