I have Chromebook with touchscreen. It's great to mix trackpad and touchscreen.

But after heavy use display became dirty because of human fat that remain on screen. I didn't notice similar things in iPhone/iPad however.

NT4 lack DirectX. But in 1999 i got temporary access to some machine and copy few DX files from Win98.

As result - i was able to play some windowed games without 3D acceleration.

New comment by mobilio in "Introducing architecture variants"

mobilio — Fri, 31 Oct 2025 15:59:21 +0000

Announce was here: https://discourse.ubuntu.com/t/introducing-architecture-vari...

and key point: "Previous benchmarks we have run (where we rebuilt the entire archive for x86-64-v3 57) show that most packages show a slight (around 1%) performance improvement and some packages, mostly those that are somewhat numerical in nature, improve more than that."
