gollark: On x86 platforms, you can have a live USB stick and boot that on basically any recent x86 PC and it will probably work fine apart from hardware accelerated graphics, some networking hardware, and whatnot.
gollark: I generally like simpler things. Also, less attack surface.
gollark: I mean, admittedly being CISC is better in some ways and RISC is worse in others, but I kind of prefer RISC.
gollark: ARM positives:- originally more riscy- more implementations- better power efficiencyARM negatives:- literally has a JS floating point conversion instruction???- horrendous software compatibility; most Android devices run ancient kernels with weird device-specific patches and can never be updated, the bootloaders are weird and inconsistent- now very CISC anyway
gollark: Yes, x86 sort of bad, ARM also horrible in similar ways.
