I heard this shit sooo many times, and not ONE real argument for it.
@creamqueen @wzqtparor yea since linux isn’t a OS at all.
Calling a kernel an operating system
You said that you haven't paid for Windows. It is illegal.
@creamqueen
@creamqueen @wzqtparor @sysrq Price is included in any computer you buy
@wzqtparor
Just immagine what would happen, if some major co.pany put this kind of artificial constraint on their SW during a major chip shortage... That would be fun.
@wzqtparor I'd like to see the 32yo CPU that can run a 64-bit kernel. ;P
I think the closest one is MIPS R4000, supported by Linux, and it will be 30 y/o this October.
Intel i860 was introduced in 1989, but Linux does not support it yet.
@jlamothe
@wzqtparor This is the exact reason why Linux is based.
@TheoryToE @wzqtparor Linux? You would need 5 eternities of patching for any modern Linux to run on a 32yo CPU. Plan9 though is another story
Gentoo supports 80486, no problem.
@Archivist @TheoryToE
@wzqtparor Probably some poor dev to worked his ass of just to support a cpu little to no-one uses.
Newly manufactured 80486 was used in embedded systems till 2007. It's old but it's reliable.
@TheoryToE
@wzqtparor why though? In short answer Wincrap is sucks
