08:38 <rwmjones|HOL> nice!

08:40 <davidlt[m]> Yeah, but remember that it might take unknown amount of time before things become mass available.

08:41 <davidlt[m]> This doesn't really tell any details. This could be: chips arrived from the fab, attached to a bring up board and initial Linux environment booted. It could also be anything else.

08:42 <davidlt[m]> I guess the chip booted, that's the message (?)

08:44 <rwmjones|HOL> the noto fonts in Fedra 36 look awful

08:46 <davidlt[m]> Did Fedora change font?

08:46 <rwmjones|HOL> yes .. this is a summary https://utcc.utoronto.ca/~cks/space/blog/linux/Fedora36FontconfigMystery

08:51 <davidlt[m]> Well, I don't use gnome-terminal (or newer console)

08:51 <rwmjones|HOL> this affects just about everything because they changed the default for things like fc-match "Monospace"

08:52 <rwmjones|HOL> the noto fonts are plain ugly and unreadable, I don't know how anyone thought this was a good idea

08:53 <davidlt[m]> This reports me a different font

08:53 <davidlt[m]> For me this is: VeraMono.ttf: "Bitstream Vera Sans Mono" "Regular"

08:54 <davidlt[m]> Note that my system has multiple years of upgrades without a clean install.

08:55 <davidlt[m]> It's different from what I would get with a clean Fedora install these days.

08:56 <davidlt[m]> For the terminal I use tilix (which allows to configure profiles and pick fonts).

08:56 <davidlt[m]> But tilix is dead. I am thinking of moving to kitty or alacritty.

08:57 <davidlt[m]> Kinda explore the grounds :)

08:58 <davidlt[m]> Also printing an image on a console is kinda nice (not that I use that).

09:00 <rwmjones|HOL> I think most terminals can do that now?

09:01 <davidlt[m]> Not really IIRC.

09:02 <davidlt[m]> So I wanted to try these GPU accel. terminals. I will probably use one of them once tilix is removed from Fedora in general.

09:03 <davidlt[m]> But they are also very fast. It's like things happen instantly.

09:04 <davidlt[m]> Kitty has more features for sure. Alacritty is trying to be more minimal, lacks some features too.

09:04 <davidlt[m]> So with Alacritty (Rust IIRC) you have to use tmux or something.

09:07 <davidlt[m]> Note that Alacritty has significantly more traction on GitHub compared to Kitty these days.

18:32 <davidlt[m]> This has a good table (which also mentions RVA2023, well RVA23): https://wiki.riscv.org/display/HOME/Specification+Status
