Hey everyone, I'm thinking of going with a non-traditional path for my next build—skipping Intel and AMD in favor of the Ampere Altra Max 128-core CPU. Have you ever used an Ampere before? What do you think? I'd love to see a review or comparison between this and the closest Intel and AMD alternatives, plus maybe some other unique CPU makers. Let's push boundaries and show the world there are alternatives beyond the usual suspects. Thanks!

I'm going to glance past how ridiculous this sounds for a moment and ask what you plan to use this PC for, firstly. How much research have you done into this prior to making this post? You're fully aware of what that type of chip is useful for and what its strengths and massive weaknesses are and how terrible of a desktop PC CPU it would make? That's a hyper optimized chip for very specific workloads that aren't even close to what a desktop is used for. What OS are you planning to run?

You're experiencing some limitations with software packages on your Raspberry Pi running Ubuntu. It's understandable to feel frustrated when certain applications aren't available, especially since the Pi is a popular platform. You're right—it's one of the most supported ARM systems, yet still encounters occasional hiccups.
