Resolve is only officially supported on Rocky Linux which is a rebuild of Red Hat Enterprise Linux. Red Hat, Debian, and Arch based distributions do things a lot differently than each other. Rocky/RHEL are pretty much de facto standards for Linux in the high-end video production and VFX market so it doesn't make much sense for Blackmagic to spend development resources supporting other Linux distributions.
LEGO is releasing a new robot kit, Computer Science and AI, later this year. It isn't able to run autonomously so it is essentially incompatible with the way FIRST LEGO League has worked for the last 28 years.
Earlier this year, FIRST and LEGO announced that FIRST LEGO League would split into two editions--Founders Edition and Future Edition. Both editions would run concurrently for the next two seasons. Founders Edition would continue the current autonomous format and teams could use any of the previous robot kits (RCX, NXT, EV3, SPIKE). Future Edition would be a new remote control format using the new robot kit. After the two transition seasons, Founders Edition would be discontinued and Future Edition would become the one and only format and ending the use of all previous robot kits.
Now that LEGO has announced they are ending their relationship with FIRST after next season, a lot of that is up in the air. Next season will proceed as previously announced, with both Founders Edition and Future Edition. After that, both FIRST and LEGO are each continuing on with their own, separate K-8 robotics programs.
Future Edition requires teams have two of the $530 Computer Science and AI kits. One for their robot and one for the interactive mission models. That's a huge investment for a lot of teams.
LEGO has said they will support SPIKE through the next three seasons but they have not said how that will work or if older robot kits (RCX, NTX, EV3) will also be supported.
FIRST has not announced anything about how their program will work after next season.
The robot kit can be kept and used again each season. Only the challenge kit (mat and mission models) change each season. The current robot kit is $540 vs just $95 for the challenge kit.
The LEGO Education version of MINDSTORMS Robot Inventor, SPIKE Prime, is still available and a new robot kit, Computer Science and AI, is being released this year. After next season, LEGO will be continuing on with their own K-8 robotics program (as will FIRST).
But you’re right in that they’ll have another new line—“Lego Education Computer Science & AI”, which is different in a way I don’t really understand and doesn’t fill me with a ton of confidence.
Compare Reese's peanut butter cups to peanut butter cups from Trader Joe's or Aldi and you'll taste just how bad Reese's have gotten. You'll never go back.
Go to summer camp. A traditional, out in nature, canoes, archery, and tie dye, sleep-away summer camp. At least three weeks. Preferably, they would have started going much younger than high school, but it's never too late.
They will meet lifelong friends, have real, in-person experiences, and unplug from technology. They will come back energized, de-stressed, more confident, and with memories that will last a lifetime.
