It was a hypothetical. Nobody is contributing to E-waste.

That’s what I’m saying! It’s kinda awesome how long things get supported in linux land!

I just meant after support is dropped. The CIP I think supports each of its kernels for 10 years? So whatever the last kernel is before they officially drop support will still be maintained by them for a long time. :)

If anyone is actually using a 486 still, you can try using the kernels that the CIP maintains https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/cip/linux-cip.git They actually still support kernel 4.4

I’m very for used hardware, some of my stuff is dumpster finds. I just liked the thought experiment of replacing a hypothetical 486 pc with a brand new computer.

I saw the luckfox products on aliexpress and they definitely looked cool!

I didn’t even think about those. That might be a good bet!

This seems like the most interesting suggestion so far. I’ll look into those!

If Palemoon can still run the bulk of the web on a forked version of the old firefox engine, I doubt you’d notice anything breaking in the short term.

If this is all people cared about they’d be using Sid. Debian Stable is stable. It’s not there to be flashy and new. It’s there to work and stay working.

Took one look and said “Oh wow, this is worthless.” and kept doing what he was doing.

i don’t think I use any kde apps on my system at all

CGI Budget: Infinite

Casting Budget: Infinite

Writing Budget: $3.50

If flatpak didn’t make me put the entirety of KDE onto my system (thats an exaggeration but you know what I mean) I’d gladly crown it king of the package managers.

I feel like we’ve been here before

Naw, I’m a lowly Debian user. I 100% understand the not wanting to tinker with shit all night though lol.

Now that you’re a linux user proper its time to bully you for using atomic. 😜

Just teasing, welcome to linux!

The first I used for any extended period of time was fedora.

Big agree.

Am I the only person tired of remakes?
