  • There are cuda packages for arch. I can confirm they work.

    https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/GPGPU

    Edit- to add i haven’t found arch’s limit, it feels like i am bound only by my own limit in my time, ability, and willingness to tinker with my setup. arch itself is widely supported, it has many official packages through pacman, and then additional through the “arch user repository” (AUR) so chances are most of the things you want or need have a package that can be installed with an AUR helper (like yay/paru which install from both pacman and AUR). In other distros you get more of a one-size fits all and you lose some of that ability to change things whereas arch you’re giving a minimal setup and left to build the system to your liking. It does take more time and expertise than other distros but it does give you more control. For me the trade off was an easy decision, but it’s not something i blanket recommend to everyone.


  • Wait, organic is a forprofit publicly traded company?

    Yeah, this is a surprise. And its even called out in the open letter

    The Organic Maps project has been built and promoted under the premise of being an open community project, so it’s troubling to discover that the majority of shareholders consider it to be their sole property. […] (see Addendum for the details)

    Then in Addendum:

    The role of Organic Maps OÜ

    It’s a for-profit company (an LLC basically) registered in Estonia:

    ariregister.rik.ee/eng/company/16225385/Organic-Ma

    The company holds key project assets, e.g. the trademark and the app store accounts. git.omaps.dev/organicmaps/organicmaps/src/branch/m… states that “The primary purpose of the entity is to shield the project’s members from personal liability and to ensure the legal protection of the project’s assets.”

    Until recently there was never a mention that the shareholders treat their shares as their personal investment. Even that explanation document was only added to project’s repository 4 months ago - before that the only brief mention of Organic Maps OÜ’s existence was in the footer of the https://organicmaps.app/ website, so the most of users and contributors had no idea about its role and ownership structure.

    Roman @rtsisyk holds 1/3 (33%) of shares, Viktor @vng holds 2/3 (66%). Alexander @biodranik is not a registered shareholder, but allegedly Viktor holds his 1/3 (33%) nominally.
