👾 NeXTSTEP on HP 9000 PA-RISC Computers // OpenPA
｢ NeXTSTEP is a Unix operating system developed in the 1980s and 90s by NeXT, based on a Mach microkernel with an advanced graphical user interface. NeXTSTEP supports several 32-bit HP 9000 PA-RISC workstations in release 3.3 from 1994, for which HP and NeXT had high hopes. This was an effort to open up the NeXT operating system to other hardware platforms after NeXT stopped designing its own custom NeXT computers ｣

I have predicted for years that the future of computing is going to be #RISC, probably in the form of #ARM, but #Valve releasing the #SteamFrame today is definitely a nod towards my prediction being accurate.
The future of Linux is one is the few things going right this year.

Three years ago, I experimented with introducing automated build testing for RISC-V in Linux GPU drivers. Back then, it was a bit hacky due to the older Debian version used in CI [ https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/mesa/mesa/-/merge_requests/19917 ]
Recently, Mesa3D CI was upgraded to Debian 13, which supports RISC-V out of the box — and we’ve already been testing basic RISC-V builds for the past two days!

Hopefully, Imagination will start testing on real hardware soon!

Did you know that the 'NT' in Windows NT stood for "Nine Ten"?
The intended core platform for the OS was the then-expected Intel i910 RISC processor, which was to be the rebranded moniker for the i860 that can be found in the wild.
It never came to be due to the i860s terrible handling of context switching -- a capability that a CPU for a multitasking, multiuser workstation OS must be able to do very_efficiently. The i860 wasn't.

** EDIT: Several have pointed to sources indicating differently that NT stood for N10, which was the codename for the i860, so -- N10, N-Ten > NT.

"Have you ever designed your own ISA, built a processor of that ISA on FPGA, and built a compiler for it? Furthermore, have you run an operating system on that processor? Actually, we have."
