Trying Ubuntu 26.04 to see if it runs better for the fpga toolchain.

It's somehow easier and more annoying? I don't have to change drivers manually, but setting up all of the environment variables is a bit of a pain. Especially for things that need sudo access.

I've been wanting to get into fpga's but haven't found the time and materials for it yet... Maybe soon tho!

I haven't gotten further than trying to download the amd platform, barred me completely and denied my acc for some reason. :(

I'm using a Pico-Ice board. The same people have a product called Upduino (sp?) and it's cheaper.

Verilog is interesting, and if you have any programming experience it's simultaneously kind of easy and weirdly difficult to comprehend.
