I have an ARM-based desktop PC next to me right now.

It contains an ATX motherboard [1] with a StrongARM SA110 CPU, NVIDIA NV1 graphics card, PCI network card, ATA hard disk. Mine runs NetBSD/cats.

FYI it was mentioned on the Debian ARM IRC channel that support for that CPU will be removed from Linux in version 6.2.

What part of "Mine runs NetBSD/cats" was unclear.

While it might not be relevant to you, it might be relevant to others who might consider picking up the hardware you mentioned.

I get that the FYI directed it to you, but given the HN guidelines I read that more as PSA.
