Weird new computer arrived. While it looks like a regular mini-PC it has a Loongson 3A6000 CPU with 4 cores, 8 threads and a MIPS derived instruction set architecture (ISA). The aim is to install Chimera Linux on it, and have it be a test bed for building packages, and testing software compatibility. Depending on power consumption I might give it some server duties too.

A MOREFINE mini-PC with the top of its box stood up behind it. The box has gold lettering, "MINI PC", that is reflected in the top of the computer. The mini-PC itself is black with silver chamfered edges on the top. It has one USB-C port, 2 USB-A ports, and power button on the front. It's about the size of the original Mac mini: 14.5 × 15 × 5.5cm.
